Two years after Nelson Mandela's mural in Piazza Leopoldo, Jorit returns to Florence to create - in a maximum of 15 days (weather permitting) - a new work on a public housing building: he will paint in via Canova, on a wall of 213 square meters, a large portrait of Antonio Gramsci.
Jorit, it was explained during a video press conference, began the preliminary phase of the mural by tracing a sentence across the wall, in this case reflections by Gramsci taken from 'Letters from the prison', or 'Even when all is or seems lost , we must calmly get back to work, starting over from the beginning ... The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old dies and the new cannot be born '. The initiative is promoted by the cultural association Teatro Puccini, in collaboration with the Municipality of Florence and Casa spa. (HANDLE).
