CONCEPT: the work intends to represent Pope Francis in the guise of a very human Super Hero. He recalls Marvel's Superman, but has eyeglasses, a little belly and a San Lorenzo de Almagro scarf (his favorite football team) that comes out of his epic black handbag. On the bag there is the word VALORES, in the meaning of Christian values.
HISTORY: the work was applied to a wall in the city of Rome, in Via Plauto a few steps from St. Peter's Square. The image was destroyed after only 48 hours by public security. The media around the world have spread this image. Subsequently, the image, in agreement with the Vatican Secretariat of State, was granted to create and sell merchandising to help St. Peter's offering. The same work was also reproduced in Naples in Piazzetta Nilo, Spaccanapoli (disappeared after one day) and, in the city of L'Aquila in Piazza Duomo where it is still intact.
