With its 26 floors and 91 meters it qualifies more as a high-rise, but we still call this building “
Il Grattacielo” (The Skyscraper), because it is the tallest and more visible structure in town.
It dominates “Piazza Matteotti” and in the recent days is attracting a few curious onlookers because a maintenance crew is using
rope access techniques instead of a traditional scaffolding.
The technicians from the local firm Acrobatic System seem quite comfortable working at this height dangling, with all the safety measures, from a rope.

Once I dreamed of making a living as a window cleaner.
Much success for their work. Safety as well.
Great photos but it's a job I would not want.
Tall enough!
Not the job for me.
Well, there is another job I don't want!
I'd hate this job in bad weather,other than that it must be quite nice to texte while dangling high above...
I would get nervous having the residents watching me from so close.
The skyscraper and the work sure make for dramatic photos.
Excellent images , i couldn't do this job !! :)
I like the guy making a phone call in the last image. "Honey? I'm all tied up here. I'll be home a little late...."
Great captures, although not the job for me! :-)
Gosh!!
Not a job for me.
Nice documentary!

I have butterflies only to see the pictures, the building is massive!

Looks like a fun job. and I really like your photos of the guys.
Fantastic top one.
Non potrei mai salire così in alto...neanche per lavoro! Ciao, Arianna
