 The Telecom Italia Tower at 129 metres in height,is the tallest building in southern Italy, and the ninth tallest building in Italy.For 15 years, from 1995 to 2010 it was the tallest building in Italy, exceeding by 2 metres the Pirellone of Milan.Seen from the Vomero hill, the entire complex appears in marked contrast to the antiquities of the historic centre of Naples and with Vesuvius in the background.
