Tribute to Donna Francesca Sanna Sulis , the entrepreneur of the 1700s who helped raise awareness of Muravera . Representing her in a mural in front of the museum dedicated to her is the Sarrabese master Stefano Pani.

«I did various searches – explains Pani – but there is nowhere a true and proper portrait of this great woman . I therefore relied on my inspiration as an artist , trying to follow the few traces that history has left us".

In the mural, which will be completed between Monday and Tuesday, Donna Francesca grapples with the cocoons of silkworms . It was she, in fact, who expanded the cultivation of mulberries and started a thriving cultivation of silkworms .

An entrepreneur who, among other things, fought to guarantee women the improvement of living conditions.

Pani is creating the impressive mural thanks to the Municipality of Muravera and the teachers' association.
