Every façade and building presents its challenges: the materials, the height, the location in the city, and the appropriateness of the painting style. In the case of this efficient and utilitarian Italian Red Cross building in Force, Italy, the esteemed international muralist Fabio Petani was commissioned to transform what may appear as a pretty dull box-like structure with his unique style of urban art intervention.

Known for his signature blend of botanical elements and natural scenic abstraction, Petani’s latest work, “Sulla Coronaria,” infuses the structure with vibrant life and color. He improves the building’s visual appeal with a specific natural warmth, hoping to underscore its role as a community hub, improving functionality and hospitality.
The mural, inaugurated on June 14th, 2024, during an event attended by high-ranking officials and representatives of the Italian Red Cross, integrates with the surrounding landscape. Petani’s composition spans the entire building, depicting an abstract representation of the Marche region’s landscape. Realistic sections of open fields and intricate botanical details finish the artwork and open the imagination to consider science, the natural world, and the many possibilities for healing.
