    Really nice, but I could find a thousand ways to fall from those stairs :)

  2. Bill in Detroit Says:

    So, where do they get their strength from? Even if they are cantilevered, I can’t ‘see’ this really being installed.

    I don’t get it either. It’s trippy but I think that you’d hurt yourself.

  7. Stephen Says:

    It does have a very aesthetic quality to it, but us Americans are WAY too fat for that type of design!

  22. Jon Says:

    This is a nice pice of art. Looking at this only view of these stairs I would say it’s only art and not functional stairs.

  23. Barry Murphy Says:

    There is more art and architecture to see in Italy than somebody could likely go through in a lifespan.

  24. Cody Santiago Says:

    Italy is a fascinating country with historical cities, scenic countryside, mountains, picturesque coast and art treasures.

  25. Dude Says:

    This is bullshit, they have no support. x_x

  26. pants Says:

    meh, I think they kindof look a little bit 1950s

  27. algernon Says:

    I bet they are cantilevered, with more of the tread extending through the wall, or possibly welded to a steel support, then plastered behind to disguise the structure.

    Cool stairs… But i don’t see how it can support any weight.

  30. Jelllll Says:

    i wanna see a fat person on this =] lol just to prove the design and art

  31. John Kelley Says:

    Yes, I would hit my head on the ceiling above the first few steps that are mounted to the wall. Also, i’d end up tripping because my foot would find it’s way to the space left in the middle of each step.
