  "textContent": "Fourth mural in rotating art series at Piazza Venezia.\nThe giant silos of the Metro C construction site in Rome's Piazza Venezia have received a new artwork, the fourth in a rotating series of large-scale murals commissioned as part of an open-air art project alongside the ongoing underground works.\n \nThe new installation, titled Futuro a Vista, was created by Pierpaolo Ferrari of the artistic collective Toiletpaper. It covers the ten silos at the site, offering a surface area of 640 square metres, and was unveiled this week.\n \nNew artwork\nThe work depicts two children peering towards the horizon through a symbolic opening.\n \nThe gesture, laden with wonder, is intended as a metaphor for discovery and the anticipation of tomorrow, representing a city evolving towards its future.\n \n\nFuturo a Vista, by Pierpaolo Ferrari - Toiletpaper. Photo WeBuild.\n\n \n \nFerrari has reinterpreted classical iconography in a pop register, creating a visual bridge between the history of Piazza Venezia and the technological innovation unfolding beneath the surface.\nProject\nThe Murales project, promoted by the Metro C consortium led by Webuild and Vianini Lavori and supported by the city, aims to transform the construction infrastructure into a large-scale urban stage.\n \nFuturo a Vista follows works by Pietro Ruffo, Marinella Senatore and Elisabetta Benassi, each of which has explored a different relationship between the metro project and the wider community.\n \nThe scheme was launched in December 2024 by Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri with the unveiling of Ruffo's Costellazioni di Roma, a blue and white mural evoking constellations and legends associated with the city. Each artist's work rotates roughly every four months.\nSubway station\nWhen complete, Venezia station will be one of the deepest and most complex in Europe, comprising six underground levels and providing direct access to Palazzo Venezia, the Vittoriano monument and the Imperial Fora.\n \nThe first underground level will be entirely dedicated to a museum area housing archaeological remains uncovered during excavation.\n \nThe remaining artists in the Murales programme - Liliana Moro and Nico Vascellari - are due to take turns until December 2026.\n \nPhotos WeBuild",
