Wow! The controversial "Torre Littoria" of Turin (Lictorian Tower, for its resemblance with the symbol of the Italian fascist party).
I often thought about taking a 'dieselpunkish' b/w picture of it, but I always had some difficulties to cut off the surrounding baroque buildings.
I work in a nearby building, maybe I'll try to take a picture from a window.
Will be happy to see your picture of the tower.
Also known as "L'Obbrobrio" (The Eyesore) to old-time Turin citizens, as it stands alone and lethal as a stake smack in the center of Turin's baroque heart.
When we were students, we called it "The future through the eyes of yesterday".
There's a few such structures scattered around town, but none so offensive ;-)
