The mural tribute by Tono Cruz to Totò in the Sanità district

In the Rione Sanità, in Naples, on the facade of a building, there is a mural dedicated to Totò.
The street art work is by Tono Cruz, a Spanish artist from the Gran Canaries, and represents the famous scene from the film "La banda degli onesti," in which Totò explains to Peppino how capitalism works with the metaphor of sugar. The scene from the film can be seen at this link.
The capitalist takes advantage of others' ignorance to steal their resources. And so in this scene, since Peppino does not know how much sugar to pour into his cup of coffee, Totò gradually takes all the sugar for himself, leaving his companion empty-handed.
The mural was made to honor the memory of the Neapolitan actor in the neighborhood where he was born, and also to give the district an additional element of cultural revaluation. In fact, Tono Cruz, together with other street artists, participated in the project promoted by Father Antonio Loffredo and the San Gennaro Community Foundation. Already in 2015 he had painted the mural "Luce" in the church square, and together with the Chilean artist Mono Gonzalez he had decorated the bell tower of a church in the neighborhood.
