“Cantieri d'Arte” is the name of a project aimed at the cultural, spiritual, and formal restoration of several sites in Viterbo (a medieval city located north of Rome). Its main purpose is to explore the thematic relationship between the city and art through the study of its contemporary artworks.
In 2008, Andrea Mastrovito was invited, together with Andrea Salvino and Elena Arzuffi, to create a 6 m x 3 m poster to be displayed at key points in the city's traffic network.
While visiting the city, Mastrovito was struck by the state of neglect of the historical monuments, walls, streets, and alleys, and above all by the myriad of graffiti covering them.
He therefore presented a drawing featuring a famous model from the 1980s, naked on the phone, silhouetted against the skyline of the city of Viterbo and, specifically, the Palazzo dei Papi. Ironically, on the final poster, using a photo editing software, the artist added tears and graffiti that echoed one of the most common phrases found around the city: “Più sorca per tutti” (More pussy for everyone).
