As the corporations and the war machine continue to destroy and de-nature, Italian muralist Fabio Petani makes it his job to re-nature with his rich representation of beauty. It isn’t quite summer here yet in Comacchio, Italy, but Mr. Petani is on the Po river delta for the Manufactory Project 2023 painting his newest mural that brings us face to face with the stunning leaves and stalks and blossoms that draw us in and festoon the streetscape.
The artist barely has a word to describe “CHLORIDE ACID & SALICORNIA EUROPAEA” the new mural, before he ascends the wall, cans in hand, a rugged sturdy street artist with the precise eye of a surgeon. He knows that he has begun another spring, another year of travel to add an already prodigious collection of paintings that are aesthetically pleasing and botanically relevant to the environment he paints them in. Here in Comacchio, participating in this festival of music, painting, community, and education, the city plays its role as host, its guests their role of sharing the richness of their talent.
