Antonello and Jacopo Boschi deal with urban pedestrian subways, reflecting more generally about their strange relationship to art. In regard to the artistic interventions through which many local administrations often attempt an impossible ‘rehabilitation’ of these humble spaces, the authors argue that the function of art as a tool for recovering marginal and neglected spaces cannot be imposed managerially; rather, such function can only proceed through an horizontal perspective, as a process that encompasses different social, urban and architectural actors.
