Fatti principali

• The documentary on Keith Haring's Tuttomondo mural premieres worldwide at the Lucca Film Festival on Thursday, October 1 at 6:00 PM at the Auditorium of the Complesso di San Micheletto.
• Tuttomondo measures 10 meters high by 18 meters wide and was painted on the exterior wall of the rectory of Sant'Antonio Abate in Pisa.
• The film was shot by Andrea De Gioia, Roberto Burchielli and Andrea Soldani, founders of the then-Interference, and narrated by Haring himself.
• Haring died a year after the project and never saw the film, which he had supported and commissioned.
• Archival reconstruction in 2023 recovered about seventy drawings and digital animations made by Haring for the audiovisual project.
• Haring (Reading, Pennsylvania, 1958 – New York, 1990) wrote in his diary in summer 1989 that he hoped heaven resembled Pisa.
• Piergiorgio Castellani met Haring by chance in New York and invited him to create a large public work in Italy.
• Alessandro Romanini is the curator of the program; the mural's four days of execution became a civic celebration culminating in an official inauguration.
