In Covo, Italy for the CURE Festival you’ll find the street artist/naturalist/muralist Fabio Petani hard at work on his newest mural.

He is calling it “HYDROGEN CARBONATE & MUSA SIKKIMENSIS,” part of an ongoing series of paintings that combine in their name the plants’ names and the chemical or compound that one may associate with them. Musa sikkimensis, also called Darjeeling banana, is a species of the genus Musa. It is one of the highest altitude banana species and is found in Bhutan and India.
