Artwork: Mural by Millo, Soul Prints, Biblioteca Civica di Roseto degli Abruzzi, Profilo Istituzionale, 2025
Street artist Millo’s latest mural has an inspiring story behind it. Titled Soul Prints, Millo wrote this about its creation at the Biblioteca Civica di Roseto degli Abruzzi:
“It was a great honor for me to work with the young people who created the Association @ilbelloresta (the beauty remains) in memory of Flavia di Bonaventura, whose life was tragically cut short by a hit-and-run driver in 2022.
Flavia was 22 years old and was studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome; she was a painter who was also passionate about photography. Her friends immediately rallied together to remember her, to tell everyone that ‘il bello resta’ (the beauty remains) and to leave a sign of her presence in the city every year through an art festival dedicated to her.
It is within their festival that this year I created the work ‘Soul Prints’ a mural inspired by Flavia’s life and that of her friends. By what they were and what they continue to build daily.”
