Gulìa Urbana Brings Jorit, Kramer, SteReal, and Tony Gallo to Diamante for Street Art Festival
Since 2012, the Rublanum collective has been implementing the Gulìa Urbana initiative, aimed at rejuvenating small towns in Cosenza and Catanzaro through artistic workshops and installations. This initiative has transformed urban environments in several locations including Rogliano, Parenti, Mangone, Cellara, Pedivigliano, Scigliano, Rose, Santa Sofia d'Epiro, Belsito, San Giorgio Albanese, Nocera Terinese, as well as in Taranto and Latina. Established by Giacomo Marinaro, Matteo Falbo, and Andrea Falbo, it encourages community engagement. For the Diamante Murales 40 festival, which commemorates four decades of murals, Gulìa Urbana presents four new pieces by street artists Jorit, Tony Gallo, Kraser, and SteReal, paying tribute to painter Nani Razetti's influence. The project weaves art into the community's essence, emphasizing collective spirit over individualism.
