Torre Servizi Tecnici Comunali

Torre Servizi Tecnici Comunali, Municipal skyscraper in Porta Nuova district, Milan, Italy.

The Torre Servizi Tecnici Comunali is a 25-story office tower rising 90 meters at the corner of Via Giovanni Battista Pirelli 39 and Via Melchiorre Gioia, in Milan's Centro Direzionale. Its notable feature is a low double-arch bridge section built over Via Melchiorre Gioia, linking parts of the complex. The top floor formerly housed the telephone exchange and switchboard.

Built in 1966 by architects Bazzoni, Fratino, Gandolfi, and Putelli, the building was part of Milan's Centro Direzionale development plan. This initiative modernized the Porta Nuova district through contemporary administrative structures.

Locals call it the Pirellino, a diminutive of the nearby Pirelli skyscraper, and its top floor once housed the telephone exchange and switchboard. Since 2015 the offices have stood empty, and in 2019 the building passed to COIMA at a public auction for 175 million euros.

The building sits at a major intersection in central Milan and is easily reached by public transport. The base is freely accessible, allowing visitors to view the distinctive double-arch bridge and modern architecture from the exterior.

The building was purchased through a public auction in 2019 for 175 million euros and underwent major renovation. This transformation preserved the original structure while incorporating modern facilities and systems.
