>>199095911>>199095801or rather, rape-allese
You got us OP, if Italys most well known cultural treasure (Big Market on Corso Goffredo Mameli 132, in the most well known of cities, Rapallo) doesn't have a gorgeous and authentic facade then we've truly fallen.
>>199096215Rapallo is still a better place than like 75% of the rest of Italy
>>199093550> tfw they still haven't realised that Roman Emperor Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. " the iconoclast" razed to the ground the entire Roman heritage in 437 CE and everything you see now in Italy is a theme park replica made for Americans post WW2.
>>199094681So much of the UK looks like the neighbourhood in the wire, I hate this fucking island so much
>>199096462you live in irl peep show and yet you complain
>>199096307Ok, it is a nice coastal town but I don't see how their life would be significantly improved by having expensive facades for their wine market or corner stores. Facades are by definition exclusively for aesthetic purposes, they serve no actual function, it's fine to paint something that looks nicer than a bare wall and evokes pleasing geometric shapes if your city isn't flushed with cash and it is more psychologically soothing than absolute bare walls that make you feel as though you are living in a strip mall. This street doesn't exude wealth by any means but it feels very human I suppose you could say. When you see commie blocks in Finland or Poland they create a strange feeling for me, the small bit of effort gives this SOVL and makes it easy to imagine enjoying life here.
>>199093783>empty folder iconhe's larping
>>199096462The image of the UK I have in mind is still the one from Wallace&Gromit, Mr. Bean and the Oasis from the mid 90's, last time I've been there.How much has it changed?
>>199095904>can't see the parallels of a fancy facade painted on ahouse and woman and makeup>have to explain this to dima ruining the joke
>>199096757>autism: the joke
>>199096617Also within this same city, looking at Via Giuseppe Mazzini they very clearly have "real" facades here, only blocks away.It's simply a matter of where money is invested, resources are not infinite and the cheaper residential areas cannot afford to make themselves appear like an amusement park for the sake of the four americans that visit a year but they can choose to make an attempt to make their town aesthetically coherent with whatever means they have, even if it is paint.

https://www.distrettonovese.it/rosso-genovese-e-trompe-loeil-protagonisti-delle-facciate-dipinte/>Verso la fine del '700 la Repubblica di Genova, per rimpinguare le casse istituisce la "tassa sulle finestre" che seguiva uno schema preciso: fino a cinque non si paga nulla, e poi si applicavano delle aliquote calcolate in base al numero di finestre presenti sull'edificio. Più se ne avevano e più si pagava (in genere, ad avere più finestre erano i palazzi signorili del centro storico).>Per limitare l'imposta i proprietari ricorsero alla realizzazione di un numero minore di finestre, alla muratura di parte di quelle esistenti, fino ad arrivare alla realizzazione di false finestre disegnate a trompe-l'oeil sulle pareti dei palazzi.It's a trad form of tax evasion in the region, I kneel
>>199093550Idgi
other country really loves us, i like this thing i love u too
>>199097523>The pre-italian Republic of Genoa instituted a tax on the number of windows a building could have without paying taxes>This birthed a tradition of cheekily painting fake facades and windows to avoid paying said tax which continues to this day, often using obviously unrealistic or stylized colors>Some retarded amerigoblin shows up to a small town that practices this cheeky tradition birthed from tax evasion that has evolved into its own art form >"WTF WHY THESE ITALIANS PAINT THEIR WALLS LMAO"
What do>BUT MUH FUNCTIONALITYstone cube defenders say to this? I mean literally how can you continue to defend giant concrete cubes when it is this simple and easy to have buildings that don't look like shit?
>>199099355I generally don't get the "it's fake/disneyland" arguments those people use.
>>199093550What's wrong
>>199093748saarrss everywhere now
>>199096647It hasn't changed much at all. Britain was always a dump.The image you have only exists because it sells to foreigners who have no idea what it's actually like to live here, like what anime does to Japan
>>199093550>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeian_Styles>The Second style, architectural style, or 'illusionism' dominated the 1st century BC, where walls were decorated with architectural features and trompe-l'œil (trick of the eye) compositions. Early on, elements of this style are reminiscent of the First Style, but this slowly starts to be substituted element by element. This technique consists of highlighting elements to pass them off as three-dimensional realities – columns for example, dividing the wall-space into zones – and was a method widely used by the Romans. VGHHHH
>>199093550>buildings on ps2 be like...
>>199093550At least it's real stone and not made out of popsicle sticks like buildings here
