The photograph captures the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana - an iconic example of Italian Rationalism and Fascist architecture. It now serves as the headquarters of the renowned Italian fashion house Fendi, which sparked debates regarding its political insensitivity. The use of black sky in the image further highlights the controversy surrounding the complex relationship between architecture, politics, and aesthetics. It underscores the need for thoughtful consideration when repurposing buildings with controversial histories and prompts discussions about how society should engage with such structures.
