Overview
Even though it is well known for famous ancient structures, Italy played a key role as precursor in the construction of the first modern skyscrapers in Europe. The history of skyscrapers in Italy began with the completion of Torrione INA in Brescia. The tower is 58 m (190 ft) high and was completed in 1932. Torre Piacentini (110 m/ 360 ft) in Genoa was the tallest high rise building in Europe from 1940 to 1952 as well as the first one whose roof reached and exceeded the height of 100 metres. After 1952, Italy lost the record in Europe but it continued to have the tallest buildings in the European Union until 1966, with three different skyscrapers: Torre Breda (117 m/ 385 ft), Grattacielo di Cesenatico (118 m/ 390 ft) and Pirelli Tower (128 m/ 420 ft).
Italy's first business district, the Centro Direzionale, opened in 1962 in Milan. Today, there are 6 business districts in Italy. The construction of high rise buildings was interrupted in the 1970s and 1980s, and restarted from 1990 onwards, mainly in Naples and Milan, but also in Rome, Brescia, Genoa and Turin. Nevertheless, only Milan and Naples have developed a skyline of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers in their city centres.
