Point 8: Piazza Diaz and Torre Martini
Address: Piazza Diaz
In 1958 the Torre Martini (Martini Tower) was built. It is a modern, 64m high construction.
During the rebuilding of Piazza Diaz a question arose: how to close the background, being this a key position perfectly in line with the arch of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
Torre Martini represents a historical location, symbol of the customs and tradition of Milan. In fact, it has hosted legendary celebrities of Italian cinema, like Federico Fellini who presented his Dolce vita in 1960, thus inaugurating an epoch of cinema meetings during which you could watch preview films or participate in live debates with reviewers and directors.
