Public toilet - Viale Galilei

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.

Viale Galileo hosts three artworks exploring the universe, science and the theme of perception.

Corn79 depicts Jupiter’s four satellites through a geometric, optical-style artwork set against deep space.

Pongo uses 3D techniques to portray planets and stars, bringing the Earth into focus and inviting visitors to reflect on the illusions of perception.

Teatro transforms a telescope into a kaleidoscope: by rotating it, visitors can discover ever-changing shapes inspired by the Platonic solids and dedicated to Hypatia.
