The Recovery Fund becomes a work of street art: it happens in Rome


A street art work dedicated to the... Recovery Fund, where Little Red Riding Hood symbolizes Italy, and the wolf the Netherlands.

A work of street art dedicated to the Recovery Fund, the historic fund for the post-virus revival of the European Union that, for the first time in the history of the Union, will be financed with common debt securities. It is happening in Rome, where artist Mauro Pallotta, aka Maupal, has created, in Piazza della Maddalena, a work entitled precisely Recovery Fund and inspired by cartoons: the protagonist is in fact a Little Red Riding Hood who speeds through the city on a scooter and tames a wolf depicted very eloquently with a tulip in her mouth.

The little girl, a symbol of Italy, has on her shoulders a blue backpack full of money, a symbol of the fund: the artist wants to emphasize on the one hand the victory of Little Red Riding Hood over the wolf, and on the other hand also the responsibility that now rests on the country in the management of funds. The scooter is thus meant to be a symbol of a lean and fast means, in this case the antithesis of Italian bureaucracy.



“A small and defenseless Italy,” said Maupal, “emerges triumphant from the financial, economic and social thicket, evading the aggression of the Dutch wolf.”
