1. 1900 Street Scene — Artist in Northern Chile
A façade transformed into a turn-of-the-century street, complete with shopfronts, awnings, and distant mountains. The illusion extends the architecture into another era.
2. Patrick Commecy in Brives-Charensac, France
Au fil de Loire – Patrick Commecy and his team from A.Fresco transformed this once-blank wall into a vivid riverside scene inspired by the Loire. The mural depicts villagers washing clothes beneath an arched stone bridge, with swallows flying above and residents leaning from painted windows. It recalls the history of Brives-Charensac, where locals once gathered by the river for daily chores, and even marks the 1980 flood level of 6.8 meters — a reminder of the Loire’s power.

Edoardo Ettorre’s mural Intime Readings, created for Gulìa Urbana, shows an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench, absorbed in a newspaper. The scene captures a moment of quiet reflection — a pause amid life’s noise. Beyond its realism, the work hints at a deeper theme: the challenge of discerning truth in an age overwhelmed by information. Ettorre transforms this façade into both memory and monologue, honoring thoughtfulness and the wisdom of age.
