  • @kbonetopman1 Yes, by Eritrean masons and unskilled labourers, on projects drawn by Italian architects and under their directions. Left to themselves, they could not erect anything better than huts with a straw roof. It's well known that the only decent architecture of the african main cities and still existing there, from Tripoli and Bengasi down (Massaua, Asmara, Mogadishu, Addis Ababa) was the one left by Italians. Eritrea is nowadays a disaster, unable to pull up its own pants.

  • @inik What is your criticism??!!! It's not his language, he may not be gramatically and/or phonetically perfect, but he makes himself understood if one listens to the presentation enough time. You are from/iun Macao, right? Go and gamble some.

  • @eristars "How many times"? Just as many as it comes to our eyes - fascist or no-fascist, of recent times or dating back thousands of years. Italians have ALWAYS had excellent architecture. It can be seen you should be about 33-yr old now, but WHERE are you from/in?

  • @4687291 magari con una z sola

  • Built by Eritrean people,

    We have a right to appreciate its beauty

  • I guess the welfare of Eritreans would be much more important than the buildinds built by fascist italians....how many times are we to appreciate italian architecture

  • This stile is Italian stile di Architettura Fascista: RAZZIONALISMO.

    ASMARA é NOSTRA

    ASMARA e' ITALIANA

  • pussillanime, you are ignorant, palazzo of an example of ITALIAN architecture!!!!!!!!!
