When did Eni come to Palazzo Eni?

1962: Palazzo Eni opens on the EUR lake in Rome. Built between 1959 and 1962 by Marco Bacigalupo and Ugo Ratti — chosen because they were already designing the company's Milan offices — the 85.5 m tower was inaugurated in August 1962. It became the seat of ENI and was the tallest building in Rome after St Peter's Basilica.
