Abstract: A tour of the city of Asmara, Eritrea, which has a wealth of modern Italian architecture as a result of its colonization by Italy during the early 20th century. The architect Naigzy Gebremedhin looks at the mixed legacy of his city's built environment, which is both a source of pride for the Asmarinos and a constant reminder of a period of colonial subjugation and segregation.
