ABSTRACT
Distributed along the lines 1 and 6 of the Naples Metro network, art stations are the result of extraordinary constructive and synergic dialogue between architects and artists, engineers and committee. Though the architectural design of the work is the constant dialogue and collaborative effort of all the players - namely architects, artists, engineers and Committee. The subway becomes an ‘underground museum’ and can be referred to as ‘catacombs of beauty’. It is a ‘traveling’ art that supports the speed of the contemporary world and fulfils what its main features are. It becomes so familiar to the ‘travellers’: familiar and social, and goes beyond the concept of decoration, because, as complex and colourful it is, it strategically attracts the attention of the citizen, which is culled during his daily routine. More than 200 works are counted in Art Stations.
