Feretro di Pio La Torre (1982) by Ugo Perini is a poignant tribute to the Sicilian politician and anti-Mafia activist Pio La Torre, who was tragically assassinated in 1982. Painted in oil and pastel on cardboard and measuring 45 x 40 cm, this work stands as a visual elegy, capturing the complex emotions of loss and defiance that followed his death.

The composition features angular, fragmented figures carrying a coffin adorned with bright red and floral motifs, symbols of both mourning and rebirth. Perini's use of vibrant greens, blues, and yellows, contrasted with somber reds, creates a dynamic interplay of grief and hope. The angularity of the figures evokes tension and resilience, underscoring the burden of sacrifice borne by those who fight for justice.

Perini's reflection on this piece described it as "a lament for a man who bore the weight of courage and paid the ultimate price for truth." The bold abstraction transforms the historical tragedy into a universal narrative of the struggle against oppression, connecting La Torre's sacrifice to a broader human story.
