The Enchanted Aviary Palace of Asmara

Once upon a time, in the shimmering year of 1938, in the vibrant city of Asmara, the resplendent Fiat Tagliero was brought to life. This magnificent creation was overseen by the Italian enchanter of engineering, Giuseppe Pettazzi, who breathed life into this Art Deco wonder, designed to resemble a whimsical bird with two immense 15-meter wings that seemingly defied gravity and flowed elegantly from its grand structure. As a precaution, the local council of wise ones, with concern for safety in mind, suggested hidden supports for these wings.

But Pettazzi, the head sorcerer of the project, had a different vision – one that left no room for such supports. Yet, with a heavy heart, he agreed to their request. The Fiat Tagliero withstood the tumultuous winds of World War II, barely bearing the scratches of British magic, and continued to glow radiantly, like a beacon. Post its tenure as a Shell sanctuary, it is now a priceless treasure of Eritrea, a beacon amidst the countless Art Deco wonders in Asmara.

The Fiat Tagliero now finds itself among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, dancing gracefully in the candlelight of history.
