The Municipal Technical Services Tower is a skyscraper located in Milan, in via Giovanni Battista Pirelli 39 on the corner with via Melchiorre Gioia, in the heart of the Milanese business center. 90 meters high with 24 floors, it was for years one of the tallest buildings in Milan. It was built in 1966 to a design by architects Renato Bazzoni, Luigi Fratino, Vittorio Gandolfi, Aldo Putelli, as part of the unfinished “Management Center”. The interesting feature of the building is the presence of a low body which was built as a double arch bridge over Via Melchiorre Gioia. Within a few years, together with the skyscrapers already present in the area and the new buildings under construction of the Porta Nuova project, it will become part of the first urban cluster with modern skyscrapers in Milan. On 24 February 2015, the transfer of the offices and employees was completed from the tower to the offices in via Bernina 12. The building is currently under redevelopment and scaffolding has been erected for the removal of asbestos.
