I presume we're talking Pontine Marshes here?
I might really just sling the Italian (however poetic it might seem .. duh?) and say it's a "typical Pontine Marshes rural building" o giù di lì....

: Yup, I tried to phrase it in English a variety of ways and you are probably right, a loose translation works best here//Hi Angela, these tongue-twisty texts are typical these days ; ))

Ciao Silvia. Il brutto è che a volte ci facciamo spaventare e viene fuori un inglese assurdo - peggio dell'italiano

its characteristic typology makes it a landmark in land reclamation
Hi Lizzy,
I get the impression they want to put across the idea it’s like a piece of history from the period when there was a lot of reclaiming going on (pre-war maybe) that looks like it was dropped into the reclaimed land to remain there and eventually fall into disuse; now reclaimed once again and refurbished to its former, and new glory.
