Nettuno over Taranto

large mural of Roman god Neptune, on top of a reddish coloured building

Nettuno, or Neptune as he is known in English, is the Roman God of the sea who controlled the winds and storms encountered by sailors. This large mural by Kraser Tres stands over part of the waterfront in the Italian city of Taranto – Neptune holds his trident as he looks out toward the Ionian Sea. Nettuno tiene il suo tridente mentre guarda verso il Mar Ionio.

The mural was part of a Gulìa Urbana project. This organization has been bringing murals to Italian cities for 12 years.
