Description
|
This
tower block at the corner of Via Cernia and
Corso Bolzano was built as
the headquarters of the Directorate
General of Radiotelevisione
Italiana, Italy's national public
broadcaster. It
was one of the first tall buildings
constructed in Torino after WWII.
The tower is part of a complex of
buildings which together occupy a whole
block. The 72 metre tower has a
steel frame with glass and aluminium
curtain walls. At street level the
building features an arcade like those
found in adjacent older buildings.
