Villa or palace of historical or artistic interest
Painting 2019
Realized on the side facade of one of the skyscrapers in the Centro Direzionale in Naples, the work was commissioned from Jorit on the occasion of the 2019 Universiade. The 100-metre high mural depicts the faces of five athletes from Campania, one from each province of the region, who have distinguished themselves in their sport: Patrizio Oliva (Naples) in boxing, Nando De Napoli (Avellino) and Carmelo Imbriani (Benevento) in football, Antonietta De Martino (Salerno) in athletics and Nando Gentile (Caserta) in basketball. These five faces tell stories of identity, in which sport has become a positive value of social redemption. Hence the decision to create the mural on a façade of the skyscraper, which faces the Poggioreale prison.
