Home sweet home

This is one of the first large-scale murals created in the city of Trieste. It is located in a peripheral area of the city, along a bike path. The subject evokes the former identity of the place, which once hosted a significant shipyard where ships were built. The entire identity of the neighborhood was closely tied to shipbuilding activities. With the closure of the shipyard, the entire area lost its character and, consequently, its identity.

The floating ghost tugboat, almost like a dream, carrying a colorful tree, symbolizes this now-distant identity that hovers over the neighborhood like a ghost.

To present the mural to the city, a small exhibition was organized, showcasing various elements produced for the study of the subject. This includes photographic material from that era, drawings, a wooden model of the subject, and finally, photos of the process and the finished mural.

Per presentare il murales alla città è stato pensato di allestire una piccola mostra in cui sono stati raccolti i vari elementi prodotti per lo studio del soggetto. Si trova quindi del materiale fotografico dell’epoca, disegni, il modellino in legno del soggetto e infine foto del processo e del murales finito.
