Palazzo delle Scintille, Exhibition center in CityLife district, Milan, Italy

Palazzo delle Scintille is a rectangular exhibition hall in the CityLife district, topped by an elliptical dome of glass and metal that reaches 32 metres at its highest point. Its light-coloured facade is divided by tall vertical windows and a band of small square openings, with wide steps leading to dark entrance doors. The interior can hold up to 18,000 visitors.

Paolo Vietti-Violi designed the Palazzo delle Scintille in Liberty style; it opened in April 1923 as Milan's first sports palace. In 1935 it became Pavilion 3 of the Fiera di Milano. After the 1943 bombing, it hosted the Teatro alla Scala's summer season in 1946 while the theatre was rebuilt.

The name "Scintille" (sparks) comes from the electric lighting of the 1920s sports palace, not from the glass dome. In 1946, while La Scala was rebuilt after the 1943 bombing, the theatre's summer season moved here. Since 2021 the hall has served as Italy's largest COVID-19 vaccination centre, and the facade now carries the inscription "NEW IDEAS FOR ANOTHER TIMES".

The building stands on Piazza VI Febbraio, west of Milan's centre, inside the CityLife complex. The main doors are reached by a wide flight of steps at the base of the facade, so allow time for the approach. The rectangular hall holds up to 18,000 people, and the dome peak reaches 32 metres.

In 2021, the building was rapidly transformed into Italy's largest vaccination site during the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating how its flexible interior could serve urgent public health needs. This unexpected role highlighted the structure's adaptability for critical purposes beyond entertainment and exhibitions.
