Mural on the Sunja fire tower

More than four years have passed since the promise made to Ivan and the Sunja firefighters to paint the image of St. Florian, their patron saint, on the turret. Covid and other complications were the cause of this delay…

Here we are, at the moment of the promise, August 2019:

And so, one beautiful day in September, Paolo, Irena, Andrea, Elena and I left for Sunja, with a nice load of colors and brushes and… enthusiasm!

First thing, the projection of the drawing, a Saint Florian created by our dear Josip. We had to get used to getting on the ladder truck but everything went fine.

Here are some photos of the work in progress:

At the same time, we also worked on the mural created in 2018, brightening up the red of the heart which had faded a little and adding two trees on the sides. Here too, Zvonko lifted us with a smaller truck and Josip, between one photo and another, also gave us a hand.

Some photos of the dear family who hosted us in their wonderful farm, with indescribable hospitality. Thanks Nada and Mika

In Sunja we have many friends who have hosted us and supported our initiatives over the years, starting with the mayor, Mr. Grga. Here he is in the photo (third from the left) with Ivica, the fire brigade commander (second from the right).
