The Centro direzionale is a business district in Naples, Italy.
Designed by the Japanese architect Kenzō Tange, the entire complex was completed in 1995. It is the first cluster of skyscrapers to have been built in Italy and southern Europe.

The structure is characterized by the wide road axis at the centre of the complex on which there are piazza of various shapes.

The Telecom Italia Tower at 129 metres in height, is the tallest building in southern Italy, and the ninth tallest building in Italy.
For 15 years, from 1995 to 2010 it was the tallest building in Italy, exceeding by 2 metres the Pirellone of Milan.

Seen from the Vomero hill, the entire complex appears in marked contrast to the antiquities of the historic centre of Naples and with Vesuvius in the background.

The management center also houses the new headquarters of the Faculty of Engineering and Science and Technology of the University of Naples "Parthenope".

Inside the business district most of the buildings are marked by a binary code consisting of a letter and a number, the letter indicates the block, the number is the lot inside that block. The blocks range from A to G. For some buildings, names are used instead.

The center is also equipped with an internal odonomastic, without civic numbering.
