gray concrete building near mountain under blue sky during daytime

Fascist „Palazzo“ of the Fiscal Offices (IRS) in Bozen, historized with the Hannah Arendt citation „No one has the right to obey.“ in 3 languages, the first is that of the indigenous population of Ladins (Reatoromans) whichof I am a proud discendent. – It is historical irony that the relief on the building was done by a german speaking artist of the area - while his ethnical group was being suppressed harshly in the 1920s and 1930s. Only after the war some relaxation took place. Nowadays there is a fairly well implemtated autonomy of the area, which could heal most of the wounds of the past.
