The mural dedicated to the great Massimo Troisi, created by artists Salvatore Tukios, Dario Ghost, and Racso, opened today in Piazza Troisi. The mural will decorate the facade of the former Palazzo Bruno.
The work was created by three young artists who have already collaborated with Jorit and have created large works in Italy and abroad, including that of Diego Armando Maradona and Che Guevara, in the San Giovanni a Teduccio neighborhood.
These are Salvatore Tukios, Dario Ghost and Racso. These artists will create, in a few days, the work that portrays Massimo Troisi with his bicycle, based on an original project, conceived by the writer Ernesto De Martino and by the professor Vittorio Pandolfi, later elaborated by our fellow citizen Gaetano Riccio.
The mural intends to retrace, in a single work, the origins of Massimo and his last days of life. Troisi was in fact born right here in 1953, on the third floor of the former Palazzo Bruno which then collapsed in 1978. At the same time, the image of the actor accompanied by the historic bicycle of his film "Il Postino", is one of the last that everyone remembers, before his tragic death in 1994.
"With the restyling of Piazza Troisi, which will be definitively delivered to the city in a few days – explains Mayor Giorgio Zinno – we will also be able to enjoy this great work that completes the new face of the agora dedicated to the late actor and director, adding a further element to the open-air, travelling museum dedicated to him".
In fact, this work not only intends to better define the identity of a central place in the city, but also wants to be a testimony of the love that the people of San Giorgio have in their hearts for the great Massimo. For this reason, by virtue of that sense of civic belonging that the administration has been cultivating for some time now with Councilor Pietro De Martino, the First Citizen has brought forward this project for the community.
Project supported and shared by the entire council and the city council, starting with the deputy mayor Eva Lambiase with whom the restoration of the facade of the building that hosts the mural was carried out and the councilor Renato Carcatella who followed the process until the end.
