Public Toilet - Piazza Ghiberti - Sant'Ambrogio Market

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.

The Sant’Ambrogio public toilet features two artworks inspired by Saint Verdiana and the nearby market. Refreshink depicts a scene of a woman giving fruit and vegetables to another woman, combining historical references with contemporary produce. Teatro creates a light installation featuring two glass vipers, inspired by an episode from the saint’s life and activated by visitors as they pass by.
