The "Madia", always made of wood, whether Spartan or decorated, was used for leavening and preserving bread, which was placed in the leavening chamber created by the doors underneath the top.

Maria Novella station in Florence, with this project reinterpreted and brought into the homes of the 1960s, now equipped with TVs and useless furnishings, the memory of real and necessary things for man, using a material as real and ancient as wood in the era of plastic materials.
