“CIATU DI LU ME CORI” - Igor Scalisi Palminteri tribute mural of Rosa Balistreri (21 March 1927 – 20 September 1990). She was an Italian singer and musician. Her hoarse voice charged with melancholy and strong personality made her a Sicilian icon of the twentieth century.
“To you, Rosa, who collected the ancient cry of our island and turned it into a rebel song, who took the people's traditions and turned them into a civil cry, secular prayer, the truth of the people.
This painting is for you. But not only .
It's for all the women of our Sicily, who continue, today as yesterday, to raise their voices with dignity. Women who bear the weight of history on their shoulders, and transform it into beauty, into struggle, into light.” - Igor Scalisi Palminteri
