It is a place where the organic scent of dry hay and weathered wood is suddenly interrupted by the sharp, metallic ghost of old-world Italian ambition. Draped in a thick, suffocating pelt of grit, sits a shape that looks entirely foreign to its surroundings—a low-slung, aggressively wide icon of 1980s excess that has spent twenty-eight years slowly becoming one with the dust.
