  A wonderful masterpiece of engineering and design.One of the toughest building built in its time.

  The Eritrean government lobbied profusely for Asmara to join the World Heritage List. Unesco registered and called the city “an exceptional example of early modernist urbanism at the beginning of the 20th century and its application in an African context". A year has almost past and the paint buckets have yet to arrive. The Fiat Tagliero building, by the architect Giuseppe Pettazzi, is often called one of the most beautiful in the world, but its radical design was met with skepticism. When it opened in 1938, Mr. Pettazzi is said to have pulled out a gun and promised to kill himself if the structure collapsed when the temporary supports used to build it were removed.

  I remember when the Fiat Tagliero was an active Shell gas station.
  It is only one of the architectural wonders in Asmara.
