Segrate
Segrate had a long history as a farming centre and there are still occasional fields and green corners to enjoy, for instance around the ponds at Redecesio. But lifestyles have changed significantly in the town, now one of the foremost residential areas and business centres of the Milan suburbs. Architecture history books mention the headquarters of the Mondadori publishing house, built in Segrate between 1968 and 1975 by the outstanding Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. The Italian head-office of IBM, built between 1974 and 1977, was the work of Marco Zanuso. The Municipio (town hall) in Piazza XXV Aprile was designed in 1965 by architect Aldo Rossi. Also of significance are the residential quarters of Milano San Felice (to designs by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Vico Magistretti and Giorgio Pedroni) and Milano 2, financed and built by the Fininvest group which, with its Mediaset TV network, still operates in Segrate.
