Description
This is the back of an old, depleted building close to my home. The occasional passer-by can't see it any longer, since it's currently hidden by a fence and doomed to death (if it hasn't already collapsed) in the gentrification project of the area. Here there was a factory in the early 20th century, then after 1950s there was the so-called Gasometer or gas holder, and later the area became a parking lot while the powers-that-be decided who had to gain from the gentrification.It was during this time that homeless people, drug addicts, and writers elected this area as theirs. Now the crisis has slowed the project to a paralytic snail's pace and everything is behind a fence, also the wall of the former factory warehouse covered by graffiti, covered in turn by ivy vines, hidden by the fence....
Thanks for your kind comments.

Uguale il gasometro da noi , prima parcheggio ,poi solo erbacce e abbandono totale ! Bella immagine e texture , cara Sandra ! E un po' di tristezza pensando allo spreco che fanno le persone che dovrebbero recuperare tutto quanto è patrimonio nazionale per rendere un servizio ai cittadini , che non solo lo mantengono ,ma permettono a queste persone vite da nababbi .
