Welcome to the site Napoliforme

At the intersection of viale Giacomo D'Antonio and via Circumvallazione, Jorit has painted two different faces on a single wall. The lower part depicts the face of a child migrant, the tragic protagonist of a sad and emblematic story of immigration, who left Mali and drowned in the Mediterranean with his report card sewn in his pocket. Jorit restores the dignity of a face and the right to a name to this young boy, giving him the name Kukaa. At the top is a portrait of Thomas Sankara, the first president of Burkina Faso, remembered as the "African Che Guevara" and assassinated in 1987. Before starting the mural, Jorit had written on the wall a few sentences of Vincenzo Russo, an intellectual of the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799, originally from Palma Campania and executed in Piazza Mercato in Naples at the behest of King Ferdinand of Bourbon. Among the colours of the mural are hidden, as in all his works, some messages, some of which are legible, such as the word "Revolution" in Sankara's right eye.
