I doubt that the concrete job looks any better on the ground.
The house looks like an artifact now, it's not longer a house, it's an "object".. the soul has been killed by the concrete mixer.
Any house is designed with a certain surrounding in mind.
The concrete violated the original design, think off a medieval castle.. inside the courtyard there was cobblestones..
Take those stones and do a concrete pour .. It would totally destroy the setting of the castle. Just like it totally destroyed the setting of Enzo's old house.
I cannot imagine that Enzo Ferrari would have looked at his childhood house with approval , i'm pretty sure the clash with the vision of the house in his memory would have pissed him off to no end.
