Leigh D From Xtreme Curves

Complex St. Paul Parish - Foligno (PG)

Reporting Peppe, from London. Some architects

big fat (Fuksas in this case) are so full of themselves do not understand that the world has the right to exist.


Admire the ugliness of this church from a single (on which, however, is debatable), but above the squalor compared to the surrounding environment.


will be happy inhabitants of Foligno, as if they had not already had enough ...

Age Of Empires Rise Of Rome Full Version

Sculpture by Padre Pio to the round of Pentri - Benevento (BN)

Antonio mi manda questa drammatica testimonianza. Le raffigurazioni di padrèpio pare la faranno da padrone in questo spazio.

Di certo si candida a essere la concrezione di atomi più brutta della storia umana, subito dopo Maurizio Gasparri.
EDIT: per chi giustamente non può credere che una cosa così esista davvero, eccone una visione ricavata da Virtual Earth Microsoft:

Sample Baby Congratulations Message

bronze group of St. Pius with children of Fatima - Martina Franca (TA)

Ricevo da Giuseppe questo prezioso contributo:


come contributo alla tua galleria di mostri vorrei inviarti qualcosa di abbastanza osceno: GRUPPO BRONZEO DI S.PIO CON DUE BIMBI DI FATIMA. è una bruttura inconcepibile that we have only modestly in Martina Franca, and in fact has recently been applied to enter the happy (?) UNESCO heritage list of my town (seriously!)
the history of this statue is long (he has also spoken UAAR latest) and if you want to write it in a future so you can you comment on
fact, among other things is well positioned without complying with statutory procedures which required the permission of Superintendent b. architecture.

Card Wording For New Baby

Archdiocesan Seminary "Benedict XVI" - Brindisi (BR)

not a church but a seminar, this blog is going to increasingly adrift ... but the rest of Catholic mostruisità there are so many that it's hard not to be groped.

A seminar entitled none other than SS (his holiness, of course) self-proclaimed Benedict. And it's not dead!

How Do You Get Infinite Credits On Poptropica

"Wheel of Suffering" (also known as "Stargate") - Lecce (LE)


Click for a closer look: you have to admire the details of this ... points are the top 10 commandments of bad taste. (And then do not say that the name "wheel of suffering" is not appropriate)



from the outside you can read a bunch of little thoughts and phrases from second grade:
  1. I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD
  2. A wreath of stylized men, with the triangular head and a hole in his stomach, held the hand ... or are the corkscrew?
  3. A parade of aggressive circles, each with a commandment, whose writings are governed by similar points to the sharp jaws of a Cerberus, which grabs you and bay, barking "Do not commit adultery."
  4. "Peace" written in various languages \u200b\u200b
  5. "Christ, the Son of the living God" - "Give us peace"
  6. "Peace" written in a little more 'Language
  7. "Take us to the father" - "holy spirit"
  8. "INRI" which overlooks a cross German (Mah ..)
  9. Four pigeons in the wire leading to the olive branches ... even those obviously in wire!
  10. ... and then the full ... a hole at eye level (which gives the measure of this abomination) surmounted by the words "The door is always open to God the Father."


EDIT: reliable source reports that this structure has a circular shape to resemble a wafer.

Bio Of Sophia Caperelli

parish of Santa Maria - Viserba (RN)

gladly begin the review with what has been the nightmare of my childhood: that industrial building of reinforced concrete tower that Egyptian side walls full of moguls like the back of a crocodile. The church of Santa Maria a Mare, a village of Rimini is well within Viserba nell’ordine MONOLITICO. Vedere per credere…



A destra, sulla facciata, si può vedere con un po’ di acume visivo una faccia lunare che porta su di sé quella che pare una pedata, o una scaletta. Eh, i miracoli della religione… l’uomo sulla luna! E dire che una volta pensavano che la luna fosse fissata su una sfera di cristallo e che girasse intornoa noi! Aspetta, questo è vero… è la prova che non c’è conflitto fra fede e scienza! Ma tra religione e architettura, la guerra è aperta.


Ricordo che durante un temporale quella croce di ghisa, che da sola sarà pesata 15 tonnellate, è caduta. L’hanno replaced by a life worthy of the space station Mir is a long tube made of sharp iron. What's more, with a chilling touch of modernity, they added an icy blue light that floods the building at night, lying on a pillow basalt block this bluish. Maybe ... maybe fly away on a cloud ...



The interiors are in accordance with the lightness of the exterior. The architect must have seen the picture of the Sagrada Familia and must be put into his head to imitate Gaudi. Bad idea, the tragic result. The dark ceiling looms like a threatening storm cloud over the heads of the faithful, who see dazed at the altar the strange lights that seem to come from a mirage, or a tab of LSD. A cross-chandelier, an admirable example of polysemy object, dominates the altar too strictly concrete. In the picture is not visible, but the stations of the cross walls that surrounded the bricks are so stylized as to be incomprehensible, even grotesque. Some bunch of flowers here and there thrown into a pot of moplen is unable to counter the heaviness of stocky build, and bowing his head sadly disappears like a willow tree, in tears.

Rules For Frustration Rummy

... with the churches so bad, they say that one becomes an atheist ...

I happen from time to time to travel, as it probably happens to many of you. And I often find myself blissfully lulled by the sight of our beautiful cities and landscapes.

So I understood, in this mood of rapt admiration and amazement, of encountering even more violently against some of the worst architectural events of our country. I happened to talk to other people (friends, traveling companions or even improvised) and find a lot of solidarity. Silent solidarity. To some extent, inadvertently, I discovered to my store and catalog architectural traumatic experiences. As a reminder, along with beauty, even the ugliness.

Only in this country you can easily mock the eco-monsters when they are hypertrophic residences, villas spread on the back the valley of the temples, villages abusive. But (not that this is a surprise) I have never heard to challenge the presence of buildings also sometimes giant, incoherent, outrageous landscapes as the thousands of churches and chiesone scattered throughout the Italian territory. See

their angular roofs in the suburbs, their monumental squadrosità popular quarters, their exposed concrete in the seaside villages, their iron beams in the neighborhoods of new construction. Ogle the most modern and sophisticated cities, where they pretend to be young girls and cheeky, these anzianotte buildings that recall both the Aschenbach of Death in Venice. It Pitti, dye, do windows cartoon icone stilizzate, facciate audaci.

È giunto il momento di osare, di estrarre questo silenzioso e mesto catalogo dalla rimozione dei miei ricordi, ed esibirlo pubblicamente affinché altri che come me soffrono silenziosamente possano espellere le loro sofferenze architettoniche.

Finalmente possiamo dirlo in coro, e dimostrarlo: QUESTE CHIESE SONO BRUTTE. Sono degli ecomostri, degli insulti anche al più elementare principio estetico. La religione non c’entra, se non marginalmente. C’entra perché alcuni parroci credono di poter fare quello che gli pare e rimanere impuniti. Credono di poter deturpare le nostre città, borghi, paesini, frazioni con le loro palafitte, coi loro travi rugginosi, coi loro Bullets crucifixes, painted with their warehouses. The criticism in this country fearing God, are not admissible. The zoning bend to the will of the bishops, and that populations, even if only for a quiet life.

I certainly did not claim to revolution venting my frustration here. But maybe, perhaps, a bit 'at a time other people discover their common sense and say to the gentlemen-architects altar boys that no, it is appropriate to make a triangle of iron and cement in front of our house.

send me your experiences, pictures of your bad neighbors. Go hunting on the Internet (in 10 minutes, I found at least 5 that deserve an award for architecture as offensive del mondo) e mandatemi il risultato, insultato: bruttechiese at gmail.com

Non c’entrerà la religione ma diciamocelo così, tra noi… con delle chiese così per forza uno diventa ateo! Queste chiese così brutte, per me, sono la prova che dio non esiste
