This centre was made by Berlusconi in 1994, and it's an historic place because at the inauguration he announced that he would enter into politics (with the consequences we all know).
I don't love this place but I don't hate it. Maybe it's a non-place as Marc Augé call this kind of places, but it's plenty of life. Somekind of life.
It's not beautiful but it's real. When I cross its doors I feel like watching some kind of italian neo-neorealist film. Most of what happens today in Italy and other countries, happens actually here in this places (or non-places). Or it can be understood watching this neo-neorealistic film.

Thank you, it's really flattering, specially comming from you: I really admire your watercolor drawings, your washes are so expressive.
These are lovely watercolours - we have so many shopping centres here, with similiar scenes - they are where you find all the people!
