1.0 rich Street Art Cities https://streetartcities.com “Il popolo del bosco”, spray paint on wallMural created as part of the @reste_narrazione_territoriale project, in Rodello, in the Langhe region (Italy).A tribute to those who spent their childhood and adolescence in close contact with the woods of this land, gathering the fruits that the trees have always offered. I found a connection between the trees and their “wrinkles,” and the elderly who now inhabit this territory, rich in wisdom and simplicity. I painted a smile hidden behind the falling leaves.Everything is cyclical: the leaves fall, but Life does not stop; they become nourishment for the earth, which in turn gives Life back to the trees.I met the residents of the retirement home “La Residenza”, and I photographed them to capture a single moment. To remember. Because perhaps one of the greatest fears of human beings is precisely that of being forgotten.A special thanks to Davide, Elisa, Don Valerio, and my model, Antonio, who helped, guided, and made me smile throughout this wonderful experience. I will always carry a piece of the Langhe with me.Resté is a project that brings together:Parrocchia San Lorenzo Rodello // Fondazione dei Santi Lorenzo e Teobaldo // Comune di Diano d’AlbaComune di Montelupo Albese // Comune di Rodello // Comune Cerretto Langhe // @proloco.rodello // @un.territoriowith the support of:@fondazionecompagniadisanpaolo@fondartecrt@fondazionecrcph @eunicebrovida @albertoruce https://streetart.media/d/d2c6fbea-d0cc-497a-849a-12db429c8d37/1024.jpg 1024 480 480 <iframe src="https://streetartcities.com/markers/923e3646-b431-44ae-bb7a-f1f0be2c08b6/embed" width="480" height="480" style="border:none;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%;" loading="lazy" allow="fullscreen; storage-access" title="Il popolo del bosco by Alberto Ruce"></iframe> 3600
