In June 1989, Haring created the 180-square meter mural on the exterior southern wall of the Church of Sant'Antonio Abate. The mural took a week to complete. "Every day there would be more and more people." Haring later recalled. "When I put my last stroke on the wall, it all seems incredibly Felliniesque. It all seems utterly unreal–beyond anything I had ever experienced before."The mural depicts 30 figures painted in Haring' cartoon-like style with an overarching theme of peace and harmony: "The 'human' scissors are the image of solidarity between Man in defeating the serpent (that is evil), which is already eating the arm of the figure next to it; the woman with a baby in her arms represents maternity, and the two men supporting the dolphin refer to Man's relationship with nature."Tuttomondo is often erroneously referred to Haring's last public work, but he created another mural a few months later at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena in November 1989. After its completion, Haring gave the vineyard owning Castellani family an original drawing that could be used as a wine label. For the 30th anniversary of the mural in 2019, they used it on a line of Super Tuscan wines to benefit the artist residency program at Materia Prima.
