Which personalities will ultimately join the Fresco of the People of Lyon?
On Monday, November 3, the City of Lyon will unveil the names of two of the new Lyon personalities who will soon be added to the Fresque de Lyonnais (1st).
As part of the Fresque des Lyonnais renovation project, the City of Lyon asked residents to choose six figures from Lyon's history to add to the wall in the 1st arrondissement. Since then, numerous names have been suggested to join the 36 figures already depicted on the façade. After a five-month wait, the first two names selected are expected to be announced on Monday, November 3rd.
According to information from Le Progrès , the names of Lucie Aubrac, Claude-Marius Vaïsse, and Eugénie Brazier, which were mentioned numerous times, were not selected. The project manager, CitéCréation, clarified that "the idea was to choose new, living figures from the Lyon area." The only information available so far suggests that the two new names will be a man and a woman who are still alive.
Subsequently, the six new figures will be placed on the ground floor of the work. They will take the place of the previous five, which will then be moved to the upper floor of the painting.
