In Rome, in the Garbatella district, the new mural promoted by Yourban2030 to enhance the common spaces with a view to social and environmental sustainability.
The new Urban Fragments mural, signed by the young artist Maria Ginzburg, has been inaugurated in Rome, which completes the redevelopment of the square in front of the Garbatella metro station, one of the nerve centers of the historic Roman district.
The painting was made with Airlite anti-smog paint, capable of absorbing pollutants. With its 36 square meters of anti-smog paint, the work will eliminate (transforming them into inert salts) about 5,54 g of NOx / day, like 36 square meters of forest, absorbing the smog of about 7,7 petrol cars € 6 per day.
The promoter of the project is the non-profit association Yourban 2030, which has been committed for years to inserting artistic interventions into the urban fabric that combine social themes and respect for the environment. The work is part of a wider redevelopment project, which in December 2021 led to the installation of a green technological mosaic, the capital's first Green Smart Wall.

We started a redevelopment process at the Garbatella metro station, bringing a new technology about a month ago, using bio-resin tiles. We then thought of finishing the redevelopment of this square by paying homage to this neighborhood with a green mural, made with paintings that absorb pollution and a mural that tells about the fragments of this neighborhood.
Urban Fragments represents an original vision of the neighborhood, which gives visitors and passers-by an unprecedented map of Garbatella, highlighting its unique soul, together with monuments and places of interest. Everyday life thus meets history, the typical light of the streets and alleys, the unexpected views and the colors of the buildings, which here take on an art form, as if to recall those early twentieth-century representations of spaces and places, combining poetic gaze, sustainability and everyday life.
Urban Fragments was a new experience of approaching the mural, and it is my first green mural ”- says Maria Ginzburg - The artistic idea was born starting from the comparison with the context. We are talking about a wall that frames an area of sociality, a place that from a mere passage had to become a meeting space. I therefore wanted to create a representative pattern of the historical and artistic context of Garbatella, but at the same time it had to be a work respectful of sociability. So the technical choice was that of the abstract pattern that was easily visualized but also gave the possibility of further study for those interested in discovering the characters and details that imaginatively populate the neighborhood, live it and also give it that extra edge. , with its monuments and its artistic past
