A mural. A circle of people.

A wall can become a
meeting place.

Chapter One

The First Wall

In Aielli, in the heart of the Abruzzo mountains, a wall in Borgo Universo became the site of an encounter between Moldova and Italy. Created by Radu Dumbravă, HORA draws on the circle dance — a symbol of belonging and community — and places it within a town that has reshaped its identity through art. It is the first chapter of a project built from people, memory and place.

The story continues beyond the wall

The Film

Directed by Dumitru Culiuc, the documentary follows HORA from the first sketch to the moment the mural becomes part of Aielli. Through the artist at work, the people of the town and the journey of a Moldovan team creating in Italy, the film observes how a mural can bring two communities into the same circle.

The People

HORA began as a meeting between people before it became a wall — an initiator, an artist, a filmmaker, a photographer, and the town of Aielli itself.
