"This work is a memorial to the victims of Ponte Morandi fall in 2018 in Genova. It’s painted exactly under where the bridge was built and fell." https://www.ozmo.it/outdoor/

'After the Morandi bridge fall tragedy, street art pioneer Ozmo painted a site specific work dedicated to the victims only a few yards away from the evacuated red zone in Via Fillak. This is an ideal embrace for Genova and Italy on the anniversary on 14 August 2018.  Ozmo's inspiration for every project starts from the context he's working on: researching the history, social implications and local culture of the area. The Canova statue "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss" was chosen by the artist to transform the mourning and loss into a positive message for the Certosa neighborhood. This mural symbolizes a way to connect, heal and give new hope for the future of Genova and the nation.' https://instagram.com/ozmone/
