Inaugurated in 2012, Piazza Gae Aulenti stands as a testament to contemporary urban design in Milan, named after the renowned Italian architect who also designed Paris’ Musee d’Orsay. The square is framed by three striking steel-and-glass towers, including Torre Unicredit, which holds the title of Italy’s tallest building. At night, the area transforms into a bustling hub, drawing visitors and locals alike to its vibrant nightlife. The modern, sleek lines and reflective surfaces of the towers create a dynamic and visually engaging space that contrasts with the historic architecture of Milan.
