This stereotypical expression, used to praise the property to potential buyers, says a lot, if we look carefully, about a reality that is unanimously felt, but which many of our contemporaries still find uncomfortable to accept.

Gradually, and paradoxically, in an age that does not question traditionalism at all, we have actually become accustomed to the idea that in terms of architecture and, in general, urban planning and decoration, not only the ancient is aesthetically superior to the modern, but also the latter; almost always ugly, at best tasteless
