Allianz Tower, also known as Isozaki Tower, is a 50-floor, 260-metre-tall skyscraper in Milan, Italy. Designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki and Italian architect Andrea Maffei, it serves as the headquarters of the Italian subsidiary Allianz SpA.
Locally nicknamed Il Dritto, it is the tallest building in Italy at 210 m. It sometimes ranks after the UniCredit Tower, with the latter's spire increasing its pinnacle height to 238 metres; although Allianz Tower's antenna also raised its pinnacle height to 260 meters. It is composed by eight modules by six floors each one, with the façade of the module composed by a triple-glass unit slightly curved to outside. The vertical succession of rounded forms creates a feeling of slight vibration of the volume of the building as it rises upward. Elevations of the short sides are fully glazed and show the mechanical series of six panoramic lifts going up and down to the various floors of the building.
In 2016, Allianz Tower was nominated by Emporis as the third-best skyscraper that was completed in 2015.
The idea of an endless tower can be compared to previous ambitions of other artists, such as Constantin Brâncuși, for example, who in 1937–38 installed one of his endless columns of Târgu Jiu in the park to create repeatable systems indefinitely.

Generali Tower, or Hadid Tower, is an office skyscraper completed in 2017 in Milan, Italy that reaches a height of 177.4 m with 44 floors, and a total floor area of about 67,000 square metres. Its designer is the Anglo-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, hence it is also called torre Hadid. The geometry of the building is that of a warping shape, where both the dimensions of the floors and their orientation vary along the tower axis.
The structure is concrete and composite. A central core acts as the main horizontal stiffening and resisting element. Foundations are of mixed raft and pile type, where the piles are used as settlement reduction devices. The base raft is a 2.5-metre-thick concrete slab, resting on 64 piles arranged in clusters and points under the main load points. In order to resist the main torsional effects due to the warped column arrangement, the core lintels above main doors feature composite solutions with a mixed use of steel elements, rebar and concrete. Due to the specific form-dependent deformation effects, a highly sophisticated stage analysis, both for construction and long-term effects, has been performed. A steel, free-form podium for commercial use surrounds the base of the building.
In October 2019, the tower was awarded first place for excellence in the high-rise category by the American Concrete Institute.
The building hosts offices of Assicurazioni Generali, the third largest insurance group in the world by revenue.
In June 2025, the signage on top of the building displaying the Generali logo partially collapsed.

Velodromo Vigorelli is a 397-metre semi-covered velodrome in Milan, Italy. It is currently used mostly for American football events; surrounded by the track, there is a standard size football field in synthetic turf. In 2013 it was the home of the IFAF European Football Championship. It is currently the home stadium for the football teams Seamen Milano and Rhinos Milano. It played host to the first ever Gridiron Nations Championship game on 9 November 2025 with Italy hosting Canada.
The stadium holds 9,000 people and was built in 1935 by Vigorelli Cycles. It was burned down during the Second World War after bombing of Milan by the RAF but then rebuilt.
The stadium was home to the hour record from 1935 to 1967 and the one-hour tandem record of Ernest Mills and Bill Paul from 1937 to 2000. It hosted the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in 1939, 1951, 1955 and 1962. After years of neglect and planned demolitions, campaigning by local enthusiasts led to the approval by local authorities in March 2014 of plans to renovate the velodrome.
The stadium has also hosted music events, including the Beatles' concert on June 24, 1965. It was the site of a concert by English rock band Led Zeppelin which took place during the band's 1971 European tour, well known for its descent into a violent riot between concert attendees and the local police.
