Torre Velasca 
Università district |  Subway  Missori
Piazza Velasca 7/9 

The tree-lined square in front of the State University is called Largo Richini, misnomer of architect Francesco Maria Ricchino).

A strange looking skyscraper appears from here, its top wider than its base: the Torre Velasca. It was built in 1956-58 and designed by a famous Milanese architectural équipe, BBPR (for Banfi, Belgiojoso, Peressutti and Rogers).
