Public Toilet - Piazzale delle Cascine, Viale della Catena - Temporarily closed

The Matrinalia project transforms Florence’s public toilets into a unique urban art trail. 14 spaces, 30 artworks and 26 artists tell stories, figures and themes connected to women’s culture and memory through the languages of contemporary creativity.

Parco delle Cascine – Catena hosts three interventions exploring nature, memory and creativity.

Fabio Petani presents an artistic herbarium featuring nine local tree species, pyrographed onto wooden panels and incorporated into the bathroom shutters.

Inside, a second work by Fabio Petani depicts a cherry tree, inspired by Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard and the history of changing ownership of the Parco delle Cascine.

Yarn Bombing Trivento decorates the trees at the entrance with colourful crochet interventions, transforming the trunks into original textile artworks.
