project to combine urban art and augmented reality. Black
Machine can also be admired through the Bepart app.
Turning left onto via Ormea, on the wall of the Clinica
Sedes Sapientiae, the Duel mural by Etn!k (also accessible
through Bepart) represents the conflict between city and
nature that takes up its spaces, sprouting between one
building and another.
We now move to corso Massimo d’Azeglio. At number 76
we find Figure col Sole, a sculpture by Franco Garelli
conceived as a fountain and made with metal industrial
waste assembled in such a way as to create a cloud and a
sun.
Deviating on via Petrarca we reach via Nizza 50 where we
find, on the blind facade of a building, the face of a man
made with the chisel by Portuguese artist Vhils. He is an
ordinary man, photographed by the same author during one
of his travels.
Along via Argentero we arrive in via Lugaro. In the parking
lot of La Stampa we can see an imposing mural entitled
AbitHoudini, created by Agostino Iacurci, an artist from
Puglia who, working on the concepts of reality and illusion,
wanted to propose some scenes from the daily life of a
magician: glimpses of the interior and exterior of the house
of a person who in life builds illusions to the point of getting
used to tricks that he brings them into his life with total
indifference.
