Many of the murals in Orgosolo have a political angle. Events that we saw depicted, in addition to this toppling of a Saddam Hussein statue, include the towers coming down in New York, the siege of Sarajevo, the shooting of a 12 year old Palestinian boy, US involvement in El Salvador, and reminders of major wars, particularly the World Wars.
