A famous mural painted in homage to Noberto ‘Pappo’ Napolitano by the artist and musician Alejandro Amaro has been painted over with the letters of a Chinese supermarket sign, much to the disgust of fans and local residents.
A ceremony was held today at the site of the AMIA building in Buenos Aires where on July 18, 1994, a terrorist bomb killed 85 people and injured 300. Argentina is home to the largest Jewish community in South America with more than 200,000 Jews. This mural by Kol-Kir was created in the neighbourhood of Villa Crespo in 2010 to commemorate the tragic event that took place at the Jewish community headquarters along calle Pasteur in Once.
