Artistic Tributes to Diego Maradona: From Murals to Museum Exhibitions

Following the death of Diego Armando Maradona, Artribune compiles a survey of artistic works dedicated to the football legend. In 2018, Jorit created a monumental mural in San Giovanni a Teduccio. Roxy in the Box paid homage via social media. Tvboy, Flavio Favelli (with his Sandokan Maradona), and Francesca di Martino also contributed works. In 2016, Lebanese artist Rayyane Tabet curated the exhibition 'La Mano de Dios' at Museo Marino Marini in Florence, curated by Leonardo Bigazzi, inspired by the Falklands goal. In 2018, Vittorio Sgarbi included Maradona in the Neapolitan version of his Museo della Follia, comparing him to Caravaggio. Documentaries include Asif Kapadia's 2019 film 'Diego Maradona', Emir Kusturica's 2008 'Maradona by Kusturica', and Alessio Maria Federici's 2017 'Maradonapoli'.
