Colossal Green Volcano Building Rises in ITALY

A jaw-dropping feat of volcanic architecture has risen in the Italian city of Nola, just a stone’s throw away the cataclysmic Mt. Vesuvius. Designed by Renzo Piano, the Vulcano Buono (“good volcano” in Italian) is an epic cone-shaped commercial center crowned with a sloping green roof. Piano’s “good volcano” contributes a vital new space to the southern edge of the Nola commercial district, which is most important freight terminal complex in southern and central Italy.
