Torre San Vincenzo, Modern tower in Genoa, Italy.
Torre San Vincenzo is a 105-metre office tower in the San Vincenzo area of Genoa, facing Genova Brignole railway station. It rises 26 floors above ground plus two basement levels, built to the design of Melchiorre Bega, Piero Gambacciani and Attilio Viziano. Confindustria has occupied three of its floors since 2005, and UIL Liguria has had offices there since 2022.
Built in the 1960s to designs by Melchiorre Bega, Piero Gambacciani and Attilio Viziano, the tower housed the offices of SIP and later Telecom Italia. Renovated in the early 2000s, it has hosted the Genoa branch of Confindustria since 2005, occupying three floors, and the offices of UIL Liguria since 2022.
The tower represents Genoa's shift from a traditional port city to a modern business hub during Italy's economic growth. Today various organizations use the building, shaping the image of contemporary Genoa.
The tower faces Genova Brignole railway station, so trains and city buses stop within a short walk. The main entrance sits at street level in the San Vincenzo area, east of the historic centre. The building is occupied by offices and associations, so visits are limited to the exterior and the surrounding square.
The tower was designed by Melchiorre Bega together with Piero Gambacciani and Attilio Viziano, and it stands directly opposite Genova Brignole railway station. Since 2005 it has housed the Genoa office of Confindustria, which occupies three of its floors, and since 2022 the offices of UIL Liguria.
