The building’s new look was a great-big secret, hidden under cloth, and much to my delight, when it was unveiled, two thirds of what appeared to be amber colored glass was placed over the existing clear panes.
You can see the blue of the blue sky on the clear panes and an old, not-so-pretty building’s reflection that is right across the street on Via Augusta.
But, you’d never know how dilapidated the old building is by the look of the photo.
I find beauty in the old building’s reflection and that pleases me.
The edifici Mercuri building still fascinates me to this day. I’ve taken hundreds of photos in every kind of light and angle the past 2 years.
Mercuri might not be in official guide books. No matter, it’s on MY top 100 list of interesting buildings.
