Murales for Safety: the projects of the Artistic High School ISS Vespucci-Colombo

Within the event Effetto Venezia 2026, the Municipality of Livorno promotes the public display of sketches made by students of the Art High School IIS Vespucci-Colombo as part of the Path for Transversal Skills and Guidance (formerly PCTO) dedicated to the theme of workplace safety.

The initiative stems from activities developed by the Table of the Manifesto of Good Work, promoted by the Municipality of Livorno with the contribution of institutions, associations, social partners and in collaboration with ANMIL – National Association of Workers Maimed and Disabled in Labor.

During the educational journey, students from classes 3B LAG and 3C LAG of the IIS Vespucci-Colombo deepened the theme of prevention and workplace safety through educational activities, direct testimonies, and creative workshops that led to the creation of 21 artistic sketches on the subject.

The exhibited works represent the result of the educational path taken by the students and provide a visual reflection on the values of safety, dignity of work, prevention of accidents, and the memory of labor victims. In the coming months, one of the sketches made by the students of the Art High School ISS Vespucci-Colombo will be selected to become a mural.

The sketches will be on display at Palazzo Huigens every day of the event, from 7:00 pm to 12:00 am.
