Lucamaleonte's Living Mural Blooms on Rome Construction Site
Street artist Lucamaleonte has created 'Eden Effect', a large-scale living mural on the construction barriers of DeLollis 12, an eco-building by Barletta Costruzioni in Rome's San Lorenzo district. The work integrates real plants—birds, flowers, wolves, and hares—in custom pouches using vertical garden techniques, allowing the artwork to change color with seasonal growth. Developer Paolo Barletta commissioned the piece to communicate the project's sustainability and biocompatibility. The mural will remain on public view until construction concludes, periodically refreshing its concept.
