“Earlier I walked past the Mole Antonelliana, perhaps the most brilliant work of architecture ever built — strangely, it has no name — as a result of an absolute drive into the heights — it recalls nothing so much as my Zarathustra. I baptized it Ecce homo and in that spirit placed an enormous free space around it” (Nietzsche, 1888). Ecce Mole contrasts two buildings designed by Italian architect Alessandro Antonelli in Turin. It is a concise and mysterious study of opposites: public and private, interior and exterior, up and down, reality and cinema, Heaven and Hell.
