Mural "Mamed Casanova, o derradeiro bandoleiro" (Mamed Casanova, the last bandit)

This piece represents the bandit Toribio starting his myth stealing in the cemetery a suit from a rich man and wearing it in the festivities of the village.
Toribio’s feats started on the day he exhumed the body of a wealthy emigrant coming back from South America, who had just died, to get his suit and wear it on the same village he had stolen it. This episode makes Valle Inclán to make him a myth.

Mamede Casanova was born in 1882 in Grañas do Sor (Mañón) in a poor family, and he becomes the bandit Toribio. He was very popular on his time.

The mural was made by Nove Noel. He represents Toribio proudly wearing his suit, his bandit gun, and with a magpie. According to popular tradition, this magpie warned him of the presence of the police.

This mural is located in the Avenida de Ferrol, in front of the Praza do Carme.
