Millo’s mural in Roseto degli Abruzzi stands as a luminous tribute to Flavia Di Bonaventura, the young woman whose life was tragically cut short in August 2022. Painted on the eastern wall of the Civic Library, the work transforms a place of knowledge into a space of remembrance, tenderness, and collective healing.

In Millo’s signature black‑and‑white linework—delicate, architectural, and dreamlike—the mural unfolds like a visual poem. The composition radiates a quiet emotional power: a cityscape intertwined with human presence, a symbolic world where memory becomes part of the urban fabric. Soft touches of color guide the eye, suggesting hope rising from grief.

The artwork is part of “Il Bello Resta”, a cultural initiative that turns pain into beauty, ensuring that stories like Flavia’s continue to resonate. More than a memorial, the mural has already become a cultural landmark for the community—a place where citizens gather, reflect, and feel connected through art.

Millo’s piece doesn’t simply adorn a wall; it anchors a memory, offering Roseto a gentle reminder that even in loss, something beautiful can remain.
