Torre Littoria, High-rise building in central Turin, Italy.

The Torre Littoria rises 87 meters with 19 floors and features a metal antenna at its summit, reaching a total height of 109 meters.

Constructed in 1934 by architect Armando Melis de Villa, this building remained the tallest residential structure in Europe until 1952.

The tower represents Italian Rationalist architecture and carries several local nicknames including 'The Duke's Finger' and 'The Arrogant Tower'.
