In the declinationof «modernity», the skyscraper had the ability to condense multiple meanings and representationsin the collective imagination. In the article we wonder about the «translation» of the USmodel of skyscraper on the Adriatic Sea coast, where vertical architecture reinterpreted theclassic tradition of towers and lighthouses. Between Milano Marittima, Cesenatico and Rimini,through a «reciprocity of looks» between the industrial metropolis (Milan) and the «seasidemetropolis» of Romagna, the «skyscrapers of the sea» represented symbols of Italy of the economicboom and mass tourism. Between sea and sky, a solitary and modern «large tower»reinvents the model of the «vertical city», in reinforced concrete and with suggestive colors,embodying a history of more than fifty years of multiple imaginations (between architectureand cinema, literary nostalgia and «Poetics of the skyscraper», restoration of the Modern andyouth rites of cultural consumption such as the «Pink Night»).
