The last picture in the mini-series about Sabaudia shows Piazza Santa Barbara. Originally there was a covered market here where the town's inhabitants could buy food. Then the idea arose to build a congress center in place of the market. The market was demolished. The center was never built. What remains is a barren square with strangely ornamental paving. #architecturephotography #modernarchitecture #bnw #urban architecture #architektur #architekturfotografie #urbanism #urbanphotography #midcentury #30s #functionalism #rationalism #italy #lazio #square

Some new views on the post office in Sabaudia. The continuous windows and dynamic curves and lines express the futuristic ideals of modernity and speed. Influences of the German Bauhaus are also unmistakable. The bright blue tiles of the façade compete with the blue of the sky. A sun-yellow color band makes the flat ceiling of the building seem to float above the structure. The red ribbon windows are practically protected from the dangerous malaria mosquito by fly screens. It all makes a great impression. #architekturfotografie #architektur #architecturephotography #modernarchitecture #bnw #urban #urbanism #urbanphotography #midcentury #30s #functionalism #rationalism #italy #lazio

However, the architect Mazzoni was politically flexible and owes his career not only to his apprenticeship with Mussolini's favorite architect Marcello Piacentini. He was also a staunch member of the Fascist party and enjoyed a brilliant career as chief architect of the Ministry of Communications and the national railroads until the end of the Second World War. The Stazione Termini in Rome and the Stazione Santa Lucia in Venice are just two of his prominent building projects from this period. So how should we evaluate these buildings? Can architecture be evil? How should the architecture of a fascist architect, which still characterizes the centers of many Italian cities, be viewed?

Roto-sphere "Sputnik" sign at Joe's Liquors in Memphis, TN. According to the Roadside Architecture website, "Roto-Sphere signs are perhaps the biggest and most dramatic neon signs ever mass-produced. They were created and produced by Warren Milks from 1960-1971. Milks made approximately 234 of them at his sign shop in Bossier City, LA. Only about 20 Roto-Spheres are left. Of these, only four are fully operational (Memphis, Lakeland, Whiteland, and Salt Lake City). Only 9 are still on public display...Not only does the sign rotate on its pole, but the ball itself is composed of two counter-rotating hemispheres."

I took this photo in 2016 on my trip to Memphis to visit family and to attend Gonerfest 13, a punk rock/garage rock music festival run by Goner Records.

Roto-sphere neon sign against a blue sky. The sign has a large central sphere with large neon spikes radiating from it. Below the sphere is a large yellow neon arrow pointing right, and below that is a digital readerboard that says "Gonerfest XIII", Memphis, TN, September 29 to October 2.
