César Pelli's curved glass tower anchoring the Porta Nuova district — its spire pushing it to the tallest in Italy, a gleaming symbol of the Milan that rose in the 2010s. The tower presides over the lively Piazza Gae Aulenti, a raised plaza of fountains, shops, and cafés that has become a social hub in its own right. Together they form the centerpiece of the city's most dramatic modern redevelopment. For visitors, the plaza below is the draw — free to enjoy, lively day and night — while the spire-topped tower has become a defining emblem of contemporary Milan's ambition.
