by rfc1036

This telecommunications tower is located in Rozzano, just south of Milano, and with its 187 meters is one of the tallest man-made structures in Italy.

It was built by Telecom Italia in 1990 to create high capacity radio links to Genova and Torino and nowadays it contains transmitters for a TV station and many kinds of radio networks.

It is an impressive monument to an age when telcos had no optical fibers, but plenty of money.
