Torre Galfa Luxury Apartments
Milan, Italy
The Torre GalFa Luxury Apartments Una Esperienze residences are located in a strategic position: they are right by the Central Station which in its turn has connections to the main airports and the MM2 and MM3 underground stops, as well as bus and tram stops. The area offers plenty of public transport connecting it with the city centre and the main places of interest.

The Central Station is home to about a hundred shops and in just a few minutes you can be in Corso Buenos Aires, one of Milan's most important shopping streets.
Designed by Melchiorre Bega as the headquarters of the oil company Sarom, Torre GalFa's name comes from its position: it is a portmanteau name consisting of the first letters of the place where the two streets Via GALvani and Via FAra meet. Built in reinforced concrete and with continuous glass and aluminium façades, its load-bearing structure is almost totally hidden, giving it an it an elegance that can be attributed to its "simple beauty that can communicate truth", to quote the words of Giò Ponti, one of Milan's most influential architects and designers. The perfect proportions of its volumes, the simplicity of its lines and structural rise have made it one of the defining buildings on the Milan skyline.
