The Disney cartoon and comic characters, so loved by children, on the walls and shutters of the city's shops.
It happens to Calverley, in the province of Naples, where the mayor Giacomo Pirozzi announced the initiative undertaken by the municipal administration. “We created these beautiful scenes from Walt Disney cartoons on the first available shutters and walls. Look at the effect.
Finally our streets are taking on color. And with revitalized shutters and walls, the urban decorum benefits above all. We are doing all this a few steps from the Diaz elementary school. So the little ones, before entering the classroom, will be able to admire the characters they often see on TV and who, in some cases, become symbols of their childhood,” wrote the mayor on social media.
"It is an operation that we have been carrying out for several months and that is now starting to produce the desired effects. Many merchants and owners have overcome the skepticism of the first hour and are starting to really believe that through these works we can give a new face to the town. The availability is increasing and is arriving not only from Via Diaz but also for the shutters placed on Corso Conte Mirabelli" wrote the mayor again.
Pirozzi then asked citizens to participate, asking them to suggest, through social media, the next subjects to portray on other walls and shutters of the city. "The goal is to reproduce scenes from films and/or Neapolitan theatrical comedies famous throughout the world thanks to the contribution of the great Totò, Eduardo De Filippo, Sophia Loren, Massimo Troisi and many others.
Now I invite you to suggest what images, shots, stills from famous films or plays that have made us laugh or moved us so much, so that we can reproduce them exactly, with the contribution of the artists. (E.g. Sophia Loren in the role of the pizza chef in the film “L'Oro di Napoli”, Eduardo De Filippo on the balcony while reciting the monologue on Coffee, Totó in Miseria e Nobiltà, etc…) We leave the decision in your hands. We want you to choose what we have to do. And you can do it directly.
Through these social channels. Proponent, suggest anything that comes to mind. With your contribution we can certainly make a difference. And of course invite traders, owners to make their walls and shutters available, to put into practice the street art project that we want to spread throughout the territory. Together we will make it. Full speed ahead!”.
