Beppe Severgnini is not an architect, but wrote brilliant pages in my arms on the obscenity that you see around. This piece is adapted from his book The head of the Italians.
A ghost wanders about in Italy: a semi-colored marker. Yellow acid, orange reflector , green surgical, chemical blue, blue toothpaste , carmine psychedelic : the colors are synthetic, for some time, stain the landscape. One turns the corner, stands before a wall beam and thinks the owner has the wrong color! Well, yes and no. The color was chosen and paid: these special colors, made of titanium or nickel, costing three times the normal colors. But the decision was made on a sample of 4 x 4 cm, which led the lady to squeal "Cute." But the blue tooth, covering the entire facade becomes disturbing, psychedelic carmine - pop version of the ancient 'houses - causing failure, the orange reflector is only suitable to the visions of a Minister of Ukraine or the hallucinations of a Dutch footballer. But it is done: the landlord must accept the reality. Every night, coming back, he sees his real estate marker that stands down the street. The trauma, the winter is somewhat attenuated: the early darkness covered the error color (darkness is always merciful to urban planning). But now, when the light summer Fell pitiless walls, is hard. The swallows will choose other shelters, the postman will be presented with the sunglasses, but the owner must return to his house subversive, and atone for his pain every day. [our bold]
