Piero Angela

<p>This mural was created in mid May 2024 by Piskv in Minervino Murge, a small town in Apulia, south of Italy. Was commissioned by Tormaresca, a famous local Winery.&nbsp;</p><p>Is a tribute to the local culture and the historical wine heritage. On the wall two people are dancing the twist in a 60's atmosphere, this image is associated with the act of pressing the grape with feet (like a dance) as was used in the past.</p><p>To create another strong connection with the town, the artist chose to portray two actor from the movie "I Basilischi", the first movie by the Oscar's Awarded Director Lina Wertmuller, that was filmed in Minervino.</p>

La Pigiatura

Storni 

<p>The mural was created for the <strong>75th anniversary of the NBA</strong> within the project <strong>"Creators Series"</strong>, a series of original works commissioned from artists from all over Europe.</p><p>The work is dedicated to a Roman boy who died at 33 years old, <strong>Valerio D'Angelo</strong>, a Roman journalist who wrote for "La Giornata Tipo", an Italian newspaper in the world of basketball.  </p><p>Drawing is the story of <strong>how from a dream you can achieve great goals</strong>. Besides Valerio D'Angelo (and his brother Damiano) the protagonists of the mural are <strong>Manu Ginobili</strong> and <strong>Marco Belinelli</strong>.</p><p>Ginobili is an Argentine player who started his career in Italy, won with Virtus Bologna and then exploded in the NBA. Belinelli is an Italian player who grew up in the youth ranks of Virtus Bologna and then joined him in the NBA at <strong>San Antonio Spurs</strong>. Together they led that team to the NBA title in 2013-14.</p><p>Ginobili and Belinelli were chosen because Valerio D'Angelo loved the European players, the San Antonio team and these 2 players in particular.</p><p><strong>The title of the work is the same as the book by Valerio D'Angelo.</strong></p>

I feel this game

<div>"I lupi mannari (pmpnor) sono degli uomini normali che la leggenda vuole nati nella notte di Natale, a mezzanotte in punto. Nelle notti di plenilunio diventano simili a lupi e terrorizzano interi paesi.</div><div>Gli uomini si trasformano e diventano lupi perche' vittime di oscuri sortilegi che si possono guarire solo con uno stratagemma: pungere con uno spillo il lupo mannaro. Il sangue perduto permette all'uomo di ritornare alla normalità.”</div><div>“Ho deciso di reinterpretare la leggenda del Pmpnor, lupo mannaro, perchè da sempre mi affascinano le storie di paese. L'ho fatto utilizzando un linguaggio che risultasse comprensibile alle persone del posto, che sentissero vicino; ma nello stesso tempo ho cercato di spettacolarizzare la scena attraverso un gioco di luci e prospettive. Quello che n'è venuto fuori è un murales 3d dai toni freddi e cinematografici; quasi un frame di un thriller, ambientato negli anni 30, che trova nel lupo mannaro il suo protagonista. E' nella notte che l'opera prende vita e l'ombra del Pmpnor si staglia imponente agli occhi dell'osservatore, quasi a metterlo in guardia dal suo imminente arrivo!”</div>

Thriller

<div>I decided to paint this mural, thanks to the support of a big friend of mine ( Federica, a local enterpreneur) as a tribute to farmers and agricolture, that is the main economy of my hometown, and a message of hope after the covid-19 lockdown period. The paint is 100 square meters big on a tower 8 meters high. Peaches, olives and grapes are the main products of the land in the south of Italy, especially in Apulia. The painting is in black and white to reminds the old analogic pictures, only fruits are coloured because they took life when the're touched by the hands of the farmers. And this is the title of the painting "Si colora quando tocca le sue mani" that means "it colours when it touches his hands"</div>
