The Garibaldi Towers are two landmark 23-storey skyscrapers near the Porta Garibaldi railway station in Milan, Italy.
Constructed in the late 1980s to house the offices of the Italian state railways, both towers were used for service industries and office space and, over the years, began to show signs of wear and tear. In 2012, the towers underwent a complete renovation of the envelope that dramatically increased both their aesthetic appearance and sustainability, incorporating technologies like geothermal energy, solar panels and natural ventilation.
