Gallaratese Housing Complex (Monte Amiata)

The Gallaratese housing complex, also known as the Monte Amiata complex, is a lasting experiment in urban design and a reflection of the post-war ambition to re-imagine social housing in the city of Milan. The complex was designed by the architects Carlo Aymonino and Aldo Rossi in the late 1960s; it is an example of the bold architectural visions of that era and remains an important reference in the international architectural community.

The Gallaratese housing complex is built on a site of 120,912 square metres bordering Via Francesco Cilea and Via Enrico Falck, and comprises five distinct buildings: two eight-storey blocks, a long three-storey building, another three-storey block, and a structure that connects them.
