Lucamaleonte creates latest Rome mural for AS Roma.

Rome paid tribute to the celebrated Italian composer Ennio Morricone with a large-scale mural on what would have been the maestro's 94th birthday.

The mural dedicated to Morricone was painted on the facade of a social-housing building in Tor Marancia, a neighbhourhood already well known for its street art.
