Torre Del Borgo

This building goes under the name Torre Del Borgo, which means 'the tower of the village'. It is located in Villa d’Adda, just northeast of Milan and has been neglected for decades. In 2012, the local council decided to purchase it and invited the renowned Italian architect Gianluca Gelmini for an extensive renovation. He gave the beautiful old lady on the village square an open character which fits her function as a public library and meeting point.
