Info

Piazza Tre Torri and the City Life District is one of the new areas of Milan, is reachable by metro and it represents the Milan of the future. Citylife is a redevelopment project that is located in the heart of Milan where there was the Campionaria Fair, in the district of the Portello Fiera Milano City.

Of the ancient Fiera Campionaria (the City Fair) two poles are still open: the Fieramilanocity and the Fieramilano Rho / Pero. Citylife consists of two squares called Piazza Alberto Burri and Piazza Tre Torri, with commercial and residential modern building, a park, huge parking lots and the CityLife Shopping District which is the largest urban district dedicated to shopping in Italy.

The skyline is dominated by three tall buildings, hence the name “Tre Torri” (Three Towers) given to the Metro station.

The Isozaki Tower, owned by Arata Isozaki and spanning 207 metres by 50 storeys and nicknamed ‘The Straight’.

The Hadid Tower, owned by Generali, designed by Zaha Hadid and inspired by an imaginary sail shaken by the wind, hence the nickname ‘The Crooked’: it stretches 175 metres by 40 storeys.

Libeskind Tower, designed by Daniel Libeskind and nicknamed ‘The Curved’ because of its shape inspired by a sphere enveloping the square. It is 160 metres high and houses the offices of PwC.

Surrounding the Three Towers is a newly created park, which is very popular, especially at weekends.

The City Life shopping centre offers all kinds of shops and a food court with Italian and international food..
