Measuring almost three metres high, this "turpino" or mouse is part of the installation of Giuseppe Linardi. A deeply thoughtful artist, Linardi explains this installation, which also includes a pile of paintings tanked on the floors. These paintings also have his particular "decodificazion" style, portraying childhood story icons. He purports that children also suffer from the disordered world, and the easiest way for a parent to placate a child is to give them a toy. Soon the toys are thrown in a pile on the floor; they do not satisfy the need. He asserts that what children really need is time, love, attention, and care, thus assuring us all a better future.
