Building with a ring hanging from the corner of its fourth and top floor.

A group of young Turin architects rejuvenated an 18th-century building by hanging a ring on the corner of its fourth and top floor in 1996. It was supposed to be a temporary installation... Blue paint drips from two cracks on one side and red paint on the other. The meaning of this work would be that the red blood flows on the side of the people that leads to Porta Palazzo, while the blue blood flows on the side that starts from the center, i.e. towards the nobility.

De son vrai nom Baci rubatti, le piercing ne défigure en rien le bâtiment. Discret on le rate facilement.

Un beau bâtiment dans une belle ville historique défiguré par de "l'art" moderne.

Le piercing de Turin est un symbole pour la ville car il est situé dans la rue qui autrefois était la rue principale de la ville et se trouve pile au milieu du parlement et du Palais Royal. D'un côté du piercing on peut voir quelques gouttes de sang bleu pour la noblesse et de l'autre côté des gouttes de sang rouge pour le peuple. Si on ne le sait pas on ne le remarque pas en passant dans la rue alors levez la tête et vous pourrez admirer cette sympatique œuvre moderne et symbolique.
