The inhabitants of a peripheral area in Milan take to the streets to defend five murals in the district. The drawings, dating back to the 70s, depict Jimi Hendrix and other counterculture icons, but a company wants to replace them with a mural by the artist Maurizio Cattelan.

Raised in Venice, he is now coordinator of the Grazia weekly journal. During his career, after studying Multimedia Storytelling at the Columbia School of Journalism in New York, he served as an editor at TG4 and the European TV channel Euronews. He is the director of a series of short films.
