So apparently there's a 1K character limit, so I'm forced to make a seperate comment.
I just wanted to say, props to Zarrix for making these incredible assets of Italian monuments and structures. It's incredible to see places I've visited up close so well recreated in CS. Keep it up, man! Much love from Naples.

Quick lore no one asked for: This is San Giovanni a Teduccio's (neighborhood in Naples) "Taverna del Fuoco" (Iron Tavern) residential block, commonly referred to as "Naples' Bronx", it was built in 1980 to cater for the victims of the Irpinia earthquake that had brought down/damaged entire neighborhoods, resulting in people needing new places to stay in. What came from it was a very brutalist-looking set of social homes. In the years following up to this point, the whole area was in a state of abandonment, criminal groups started using it as a hiding spot for this very reason. The Maradona & Che Guevara murals on both ends of the block were made by Jorit to get the government's attention and for them to finally acknowledge the state the people living there were in and do something about it. Finally, after so many decades of endless waiting, the requalification and reconstruction of the whole Bronx area will officially begin as of February 2024 with the demolition of the main block!
