Under Milano: Imaginary maps

A woman sits on a red metro seat in a purple blouse, wearing a stiff green market glove. Tiziano Demuro told SNOB that he and Sergio Raffaele nearly left the picture out because it seemed to tell a Covid story, then kept it: by then gloves on the metro were simply routine.

It is one of ten photographs from Under Milano, the project the pair have shot on the Milan metro since 2018. Five hang for the outward journey and five for the return, among the historic locomotives and trams of the Railway Pavilion, which Demuro chose as a place of transit. Every shot goes into one shared folder, and they say they no longer know who took what.

You find the photographs between the trains rather than in a room of their own, so treat them as a detour on your way through the pavilion. They are included in the standard museum ticket, and the installation is accessible to visitors with reduced mobility.
