EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "ERITREA. Asmara. Old petrol station known as Fiat Tagliero or L'Aeroplano (1938)" by Giuseppe Pettazzi, showcases the unique and intriguing architecture of Asmara, Eritrea's largest city. The image depicts the old petrol station, which was once a prominent edifice in the city, designed in the Futurist style by the Italian architect, Pier Luigi Portaluppi, under the auspices of the Italian colonial administration. The station, popularly known as Fiat Tagliero or L'Aeroplano, is an outstanding example of the Futurist movement's influence on modernist architecture in Africa. The sleek, streamlined design, with its dynamic angles and bold geometric shapes, is a striking contrast to the traditional African buildings that surround it. The use of concrete, a relatively new building material at the time, further emphasizes the modernity and innovation of the structure. Pettazzi, an Italian photographer, captured the essence of this architectural marvel in his photograph, highlighting its distinctive features and the way it blends with the African landscape. The image invites us to explore the rich history and cultural fusion that characterizes Asmara and Eritrea as a whole. The old petrol station, now a cherished piece of architectural heritage, stands as a testament to the enduring influence of the Futurist movement and the unique blend of European and African influences that define this vibrant city.
