On April 1, a mural appeared in the Southern Italian city
of Naples, depicting Palestinian workers lining at an
Israeli military checkpoint near the occupied city of
Bethlehem, in the West Bank. It is called ‘Welcome to
Bethlehem’.
The
mural, which quickly became popular in the town and on
social media, was the work of a well-known Italian artist
and photographer, Eduardo
Castaldo.
Castaldo, who is a cinematic and
television photographer, is not your typical artist, as he
dedicates part of his time and efforts to championing
struggles for human rights, equality and justice, especially
in Palestine and throughout the Middle East.
