Unicredit Tower

The UniCredit Tower is the second tallest building in Milan and in the whole country. The building was designed by architect César Pelli and was completed on 15 October 2011, when the spire was attached. It is entirely covered with LEDs. In addition to having a constant night lighting, the spire can take on different colors. 

The tower, which stands a total of 231 meters high, culminates in a spiral pinnacle reaching up to the sky; an effect that is heightened by the semicircular shape of the structure below. The glass surface enhances the curved shapes of the building which reflect the light of the sky in the ground-level fountains in the square below: Piazza Gae Aulenti
