Piazza Matteotti skyscraper, Residential skyscraper in Livorno, Italy.

Piazza Matteotti skyscraper is a 96-metre reinforced-concrete tower in Livorno, the tallest building in Tuscany. It consists of a polygonal base slab with a marble-clad ground floor and four upper office floors, topped by a tower of five volumes rising 20 and 9 floors, with eight apartments per floor. A two-storey internal gallery links via Montebello and Borgo Cappuccini.

Renowned architect Giovanni Michelucci designed this residential complex in the early 1960s, with construction finished in 1966. The project reflected a broader postwar movement of Italian cities to modernize their housing stock.

The tower's name comes from piazza Matteotti, the square it faces, where the Barriera Maremmana once stood. Its lower plate holds shops and offices while the tower itself is entirely residential, with eight apartments per floor, each of a different number of rooms. Critics have compared it with Milan's Torre Velasca, and Francesco Dal Co called it an expressionist event at urban scale.

The tower stands at the edge of Piazza Matteotti, where the Barriera Maremmana once stood. An internal two-storey-high gallery links the two street fronts of via Montebello and Borgo Cappuccini, and the residential entrance opens off the large atrium served by this gallery. The base plate's ground floor holds shops and offices.

The tower was designed by Giovanni Michelucci, an architect whose works appear in art museums worldwide. This residential project is one of his lesser-known commissions and shows how established Italian architects shaped everyday housing.
