A floor in the Certosa of Calci
The floors of the Certosa di Calci (Pisa) often present a tridimensional effect.Here we can see a wooden panel realised by the students of the Art Institute “Russoli” of Pisa for the exhibition “La matematica sotto i piedi” which reproduces one of these floors. From the point of view of the symmetry, it is a pattern of type *442 (if we ignore the colouring) or of type *× (if we consider the colouring).
