Gasometro

Gasometro.
I had no idea that it was a gasometro I glimpsed that day on my walk through San Frediano.
I was intrigued.

It is like a giant sculpture, or a building without walls or roof, or a fairground attraction, or a castle.
A pretty 19th century steel construction on top of a sturdy brick wall.

.

.

Inside the wall is the gas holder, no longer in use. The construction is kept as an industrial heritage.
And nature is taking over…

.

.

Apparently there are plans to exploit the gasometro.
At my next visit there might be a fitness center with gym, pool and restaurant built within the steel walls.
I am so glad I found it in time.

A graffiti wall with talented doodles just behind the gasometro.

Bye for now. I hope they won’t make a mess out of you. Gasometro dear.
