Deder, Wubik and Bans for the Murarte project. Then we
walk along via Boston to via Guido Reni, reaching the heart
of the Mirafiori Nord area, piazza Omero, which leads to the
nearby Giardino Pietro Nenni in corso Tazzoli. Walking
along the park, we meet the large inhabitable sculpture
Totipotent Architecture by the British Lucy Orta (1966) and
Aiuola Transatlantico by the Piacenza-born Claudia Losi
(1971).

Our tour ends in piazza Livio Bianco, which has been
renovated following the Urban 2 Community Initiative
Programme. At the crossroads with via De Canal, behind the
anonymous sculpture Tempus fugit, there is a historic mural
from the 1970s. This work summarizes the history of the
area by showing its relentless transformation from a
countryside populated by farms to a metropolis full of tall
buildings. Finally, the pillars of the indoor market in via Don
Giovanni Grioli serve as a backdrop for the murals created
in 2016 by the students of the nearby art school Renato
Cottini.
