Families and children have marked the Expo 2015 universal exposition by building a 35.05-metre-tall Lego tower with multi-coloured bricks at the Fabbrica del Vapore, organisers said.
The construction of the tower, certified by a Guinness records book official, took five days with the last 'brick' placed in position by TV presenter Alessandro Cattelan who climbed on a crane to conclude the tower.
Lego pledged to donate 7 euros for each centimetre of the tower to a project dedicated to protection and development of urban oases in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund.
The Milan tower snatched the record from a tower previously built in Budapest.
