Olivetti Office Building

Annibale Fiocchi, Marcello Nizzoli, Gian Antonio Bernasconi (1959 - 1964)

The first studies date back between 1952 and 1955. The project was intended as a response to the company's increasing needs to have a headquarter, at a time of great industrial expansion, with a representative office that would have hosted the company's chairmanship.

The building has three structures, each one of which is angled 120 degrees with respect to the others, joined by a central hexagonal unit. The use of decorations on the façade and the existence of marble sculptures and prestigious finishings inside,have as an objective, to highlight the monumental character of the building according to the standards and stylistic elements of the International Style of the late Fifties. In the area behind it, the Data Processing Center is located. It was completed in 1952.
