Public Toilet - Parco delle Cascine, Viale Kennedy (piazzale del Re)

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 – Kennedy hosts three interventions celebrating nature and Florentine identity.

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 the iris, a flower closely connected to Florence’s history and identity.

Yarn Bombing Trivento decorates a tree at the entrance with a red-and-black crochet installation, paying tribute to Stendhal and his famous novel The Red and the Black.
