Centrale FS

Centrale is a big old building with a heavy concrete feel. There are giant, stylized horses, lion heads, and the like. It's sort of Art Nouveau, sort of Art Deco, and all sort of fascist. (Really, Mussolini had a lot of influence on the design.) This fountain has always made an impression on me. I can't tell if this face has an evil grin or is grimacing in pain. The teeth especially are strange.
