- Description provided by the artist: .This graffiti appeared in Rome, Italy, following the murder of 22yo Sara Di Pietrantonio by her ex-boyfriend on May 29th, 2016. Over the past few years, Italy has consistently witnessed the murder of young women on behalf of former lovers allegedly unable to overcome a breakup. A series of inquiries and growing media attention to the issue lead the Italian parliament to pass in 2013 a law that mandates more severe penalties for those who murder their spouses, cohabiting partners, or otherwise sentimentally engaged partners. Although gender neutral in its wording, the law and the associated crime has entered common language as 'femminicidio', and is defined by the highest authority .on the italian language (Accademia della Crusca) as any form of systemic violence exerted against women in the name of a patriarchal ideological over-structure that aims at perpetuating the subordination of women and the annihilation of their identity through physical or psychological subjugation. The term 'femminicidio' is hard to convey in other languages. It literally means 'the murder of a female', but this translation does not capture the more profound meaning conveyed in the definition. Despite public attention and specific legislation to target 'femminicidio', the murder of women on behalf of former sentimental partners remains a pressing public issue in Italy to this day. The femminicidio of Sara in Rome triggered a major public uproar. A relatively large march was organized in the area surrounding the site of the murder, where the graffiti in object appeared. The protest also migrated to social media, where it eventually consolidated in the hashtag-slogan '#saranonsarà' ('roughly translating into 'what happened to sara won't happen again'). The graffiti spells 'the femminicida [a person who commits femminicidio] is not [mentally] ill: he is a healthy son of patriarchy'. The explicit message in the graffiti aims at challenging those narratives that use mental illness or abnormal sociality to downplay or even justify femminicidio.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/
