Set on a hilltop overlooking a rolling, chequerboard landscape of woods and pastures, the walled city of Perugia was founded by the Etruscans who long preceded the Romans.
The upper set bounced off the curlers on her head and the bottom set missed the intended target and shattered on the chequerboard tiles of the kitchen.
Scattered among the chequerboard are silhouettes of prominent locals (standing, sitting, cycling, fishing or walking their dogs) so the mural also has a whimsical, figurative quality.
