This singular tower freshly painted by Fabio Pentani is impressive regardless of its location, but placed here in San Vito Lo Capo in Sicily, context means everything.
Painting for and participating in the SUA Project, the muralist and ecologist often combines natural plant life and compounds or derivatives of plants in his work. Here he has named Mannitol, a compound widely used in medicine, food, and industrial applications, along with Fraxinus excelsior (European Ash), which you will find applications for in timber, traditional medicine, and ecological preservation.
