This essay analyses the large mosaic panel which stands on the side façade of the main branch of the former Cassa di Risparmio in Teramo, built at the end of the 1950s along Corso San Giorgio, in the historical centre of the city. Made by Franco D’Urso, and designed by Francesco Savini in 1958, the work represents a unicum in the artist’s output, and shows the political commitment that characterizes his early career. The analysis and the interpretation of this private commission of a public decoration is carried out thanks to unpublished documentation found in the archive of the artist’s family and in the Archivio di Stato in Teramo.
