Mattarella becomes a pop icon. Which will be printed on 100 numbered postcards

Sergio Mattarella has not only become president of the Republic for the second time, re-elected with 769 votes. He has now also become a pop icon: indeed, we are all familiar with the Sicilian president’s image and gestures, known to the point of becoming almost iconic themselves.

From the Wembley jubilation over Italy’s victory at the 2021 European Football Championship to the phrase addressed to his communications adviser Giovanni Grasso (“Giovanni, I don’t go to the barber shop either”) uttered during an off-air, a few days after the declaration of the March 2020 total lockdown, before recording the first address to the nation during the pandemic.

Now the very gestures of the newly elected president of the republic are the focus of a tribute a few days ago, prior to his reelection, by young graphic designer Aurora Ferretti, only 25 years old, of The Skill Group. The painting, in Andy Warhol style, closes with the entrance to the Quirinale and the words “Thank you President.”

The communication studio of which Aurora Ferretti is a part has previously signed the Icon President painting in addition to having created the documentary on Italy’s first red zone I bambini di Vo, a work delivered into the hands of Mattarella himself. Now, this new graphic realization will be reproduced in 100 numbered commemorative postcards, which will be sent to prominent figures in Italian institutions and economy.
