In the mural inspired by one of the iconic images from the film ‘Nuovo Cinema Paradiso’, we see little Totò lost in the magic of cinema, his eyes sparkling with the kind of wonder and delight only a child can feel. His tentative smile reveals a heart captivated by the endless possibilities on the silver screen. This is a poignant celebration of childhood, where the sheer joy of discovery is infectious, drawing in his playmates who share in his glee. This is one of the most beautiful moments of Italian cinema. Totò Cascio, the young actor who brings this moment to life, is more than just a performer; he’s the embodiment of cinematographic art, while Alfredo, in his cabin next to his projector, is a sort of wise master of the dream machine he operates.. This mural is a visual poem, a tribute to the mysterious allure of New Cinema that has found its “Paradise”.
