At the beginning, when I saw your photos, I thought of that horrible (horrible because it has the worst possible situation in Rome) monument, but I thought later that it was different and it couldn't be the Monument of Victorio Emanuele. I read that some italians call it the "typewriter" (máquina de escribir, in spanish).

Gaieus

...It's absurd to write in english when we write a much better spanish, but let's Gaieus and company read us

Yes, and "Gaieus and company" is indeed reading.

BTW I myself am not very fond of that "Typewriter" either and glad it's not even bigger. But I can understand that Italians once had the "need" to erect a monument to Victor Emanuel. Every historic era has its preferences and they all seem to be proper ta the time.

The name Typewriter, AFAIK, comes from fascist period in Italy. It was called by locals as the fully uniform fascist liked to parade up and down the steps. It is facing Piazza Venezia where Musolini was based. As they were dressed in black against white stone and their boots were making klicking noise like keys on typerwriter it gots it's name.
It is quite pompous and odd building which really killed the view over Forums and Capitol.

Roberto ...Typewriter is modeled really well regardless the story... In the last image I whish the sculptures were a bit smother. Is that Indigo? or Maxwell?

Roberto, your models are all fantastic and I think they get too few reactions from people as well. In don't understand this, because architecture usually gets the most comments in here.

I have blog and also I receive few commentaries.
Perhaps I am the problem, or that my buildings are not interesting, and you are wrong!

I love your stuff, which is why I posted it on SketchUcation's Home page last week.

Thanks Thanks and thanks!

Impressive work, Roberto.

I think part of the answer to this is because these buildings are added to the same thread.
I find a new thread started for each building would get more attention than adding buildings to old threads.

Well, i think we must finish with this now

I think i have had a lot of comments and has had a lot of attention in the community. Thanks to all!
No problemo!

The next building will be in a separate thread, only because is too huge!

I always enjoy your buildings.

Some of them may fit well in a very ambitious projects to design the city of Ank-Morphork, of Discworld (Mundo disco), the novels of Terry Prattchet.
