Street art in Turin. 9 itineraries to discover urban art Street art in Turin | Page 20

We conclude our tour with two of the thirteen murals made
when the MAU was first opened in 1996. In via Musinè 27,
an enigmatic woman face emerges from a wall of leaves
inviting us to be quiet: this is Canto Metropolitano by the
late artist Mercury. Our tour ends at number 13 of the same
street, where an equally mysterious man painted by Mario
Marucci takes off his hat as a sign of greeting. Showing the
same courtesy, we continue our visit through the streets of
a museum that, not belonging to anyone, belongs to
everyone.
