On the occasion of the celebrations for the centenary of the Garbatella district, the Ater – Territorial company for public housing in the municipality of Rome has launched a call for proposals aimed at presenting creative projects with the aim of decorating the blind wall of a building located in the district.
The aim of the call is to preserve the memory of the facts and places, to educate to respect, protect and safeguard the founding values of the nation and the city of Rome.
The competition provides for the realization of a mural that takes into account the following indications:
