Murals painted by one of the founding fathers of the Futurist movement, Giacomo Balla, have been rediscovered in a building under renovation in Rome. The boldly coloured murals, which cover around 80 square metres of walls and ceiling, once decorated the Bal Tic Tac, the Futurist nightclub opened by Balla in 1921.

The murals will be visible to the public as part of the Bank of Italy's new museum, which is scheduled to open in 2021 – exactly 100 years after the Bal Tic Tac debuted.
