The project came alive thanks to the cooperation with Andrea Ravo Mattoni, distinguished artist who re-discover classic art in new urban contexts. ParkinGO gave Ravo the means and the perfect place to work, inside its own parkings; the artist reproduced two masterpiece of XVI centuries as wall paintings, using only spray-on-walls technique:

- “Rest in the flight into Egypt”, by Caravaggio; the wall painting is at ParkinGO Malpensa, not far from the city of Milan, and is located near the reception area; 

- “The discovery of the true Cross”, by the painter from Sardinia kwown as Maestro di Ozieri; the wall painting is inside the airport parking ParkinGO Olbia.
