I think it's an abomination the way they planted that building in that area.
Either you work with the old , or you find another location to put down the new.
They did no such thing in this case.
Italian styling these days, i don't get it anymore, it's all flash and the lines of the olden days are nowhere to be found. Cheap really... Not like this :

It is flawless from whatever angle you look at it. There is nothing out of place.
That old house, is also like that, or rather, it used to be until they poured concrete around it and slapped that monstrosity next to it.
Things used to be much better then what we do now in 2012..
