The People Behind HORA

HORA began as a meeting between people, before it became a wall. These are the people who initiated it, shaped it, and carried it forward.

An Initiative by

H.E. Oleg Nica

Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to Italy · HORA Co-Initiator

H.E. Oleg Nica is Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to Italy and a co-initiator of HORA. Together with Alexandru Cornițel, he helped shape the project's direction and build the dialogue between Moldova, Italian institutions and the community of Aielli. For him, HORA is a concrete form of cultural diplomacy: a visible, contemporary and lasting Moldovan presence in Italian public space.

Alexandru Cornițel

Initiator and Project Coordinator

Founder of Sandro Livv and initiator of HORA, Alexandru Cornițel conceived the project as a real cultural encounter between Moldova and Italy. He leads the overall direction of HORA's first chapter in Aielli, bringing artists, institutions and the local community together around a shared idea.

The Creative Team

Radu Dumbravă

Mural Artist

Radu Dumbravă is one of the Republic of Moldova's best-known mural artists, recognised for large-scale works that have transformed public spaces in Moldova and beyond. For HORA, he translated the symbol of the circle dance into an expansive composition integrated into Aielli's visual universe.

Dumitru Culiuc

Director

Dumitru Culiuc is a film director with experience across documentary and commercial production. His work seeks to portray the authentic reality of people, companies and situations, bringing their true values into view. In HORA, he turns the making of the mural into a story about people, place and the encounter between Moldova and Italy.
