Mugnano station of the Naples North East metro line

Bordering on the Phlegraean Fields, an area of incredible archaeological evidence, Mugnano retains road layouts of Oscan and Roman origin, necropolises from the 4th-3rd centuries BC, noble palaces and monumental churches. Alongside the traces of the past, contemporary urban development work updates the town's artistic heritage.The Mugnano station (2005-2009) on the Naples-Giugliano-Aversa metro line of MetroCampania NordEst is part of the redevelopment of the stations on the metro lines with the arrangement of the large square giving access to the underground level of the stop: a dark red two-storey building with a canopy of about 1500 square metres covered with aluminium panels, designed by architect Riccardo Freda and completed by the works of Angelo Casciello, a painter and sculptor from Scafati. The artist has created a complex urban intervention made up of sculpture, painting and decorative apparatuses integrated with each other in perfect balance. Primitive animal, vegetable and object forms that suggest other forms, including archaeological ones, interact and dialogue with the surrounding environment. A connection between sculptures and pictorial signs fused in a visual register that reaches the public, unaware visitors of an open museum, giving a poetic and shared pause in everyday life.
