Jorit, pseudonym of Ciro Cerullo, is a well-known Neapolitan graffiti artist born in 1990. His urban works of art are present in various countries around the world, but the most evocative are in the neighborhoods of Naples, such as Forcella, Arenella or Scampia.

In 2020 Jorit contributed to the "Art to Stop Covid-19" auction, an online charity auction launched by Blindarte in support of the Lombardy region and the Pascale Institute of Naples involved in the fight against coronavirus: almost 150.000 euros were raised. Among the donations, we highlight the 14,400 euros achieved by the work of the street artist Jorit which portrays Paolo Antonio Ascierto of the Pascale Institute in Naples, known for being one of the most active doctors in the search also for a cure against the coronavirus: the amount is already paid in two equal installments, 50% to the Pascale Institute of Naples and the other 50% to the Lombardy Region, both into the Covid-19 emergency accounts.
