His distinguishing mark became concrete buildings with an advanced and often visible structure. 'Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino', a company that is better known under the acronym FIAT, has since 1968 a water tower standing inside its large factory Mirafiore in south Turin, a water tower, designed by just Pier Luigi Nervi. The water tower reservoir has the typical exposed concrete structure, as Nervi is known for.
