It won't be only a park for children, but a park for children's rights, the one that is going to be inaugurated tomorrow at the public gardens of the Fondazione Catella, in Gaetano De Castillia street. Seven internationally renowned designers have turned the key rights into games that are accessible also to those who have temporary or permanent impairments.

Through a small and colorful house made of soundproof material Antonio Citterio has synthesized the 'right to silence', while the big nose of a pig, conceived by French Matalì Crasset, hides leaf-shaped pots containing herbs and flowers and asserts the 'right to odours'. The 'right to the wild' is represented by Stefano Giovannoni's 'Big faces', bizarre-shaped objects and sculptures formed by a modular ball, created.

Londoner James Irvines celebrated the eternal 'right to laze' with 'Lazy-scape', a landscape made up by rocks-shaped chairs. Tobia Repossi-Zona Uno has signed the 'right to the use of hands': steel itineraries with three different kinds of handles specifically ideated for children with manual disabilities. 'Millepiedi' is the wonders' table dedicated to the 'right to get dirty': Gabriele Pezzini has built a double-level table where, either sitting or standing, it is possible to play with sand and water.

Last but not least, the 'right to the street' summarized by Franco Raggi, who was responsible for the design of a 'path for children's play': a labyrinth and a track drawn with chalk to play with marble balls, which is lifted up from the ground in order to make it accessible to children who can't kneel.
