Works in Milan
Circa 1910, Manfredini developed a controversial project for a 14-storey skyscraper planned for the piazza where the former church of San Giovanni in Conca was located. The project was derided by critics as an Americanata. The opinions of skyscrapers in central Milan were divided among prominent architects of the time. The project was supported by Luigi Broggi and opposed by Luca Beltrami. He became founder and editor of the trade journal for architecture and engineering Monitore tecnico, which began publication in 1894.
