Sant’Ambrogio e le api
Saint Ambrose is the patron saint of Milan .
This unusual mural was created by Igor Scalisi Palminteri, a Palermitan artist committed to social causes . Palminteri believes in the value of creating "open-air museums" and making the great saints of the past feel familiar and accessibile.
The artwork depicts the 4th-century bishop with the face and features of a contemporary man: specifically those of beekeeper Michele Bonfoco, who cares for these precious creatures with his company, Apiamo, in the Ticino Pavese Park.
