The family and friends of Italian mural artist Marcello Roveda are renewing their appeal for information more than six weeks after he disappeared in Ibiza. Known professionally as Hello Marte, Roveda was last heard from during the night of 28 to 29 September 2026, after arriving on the island for a holiday with his partner and friends.

Despite an ongoing investigation and efforts by his loved ones to distribute missing-person notices, his whereabouts remain unknown. The latest appeal, reported by The Olive Press on 11 November, calls on anyone who may have seen him or has information about his movements to contact the Spanish authorities.

The Last Known Movements in Ibiza

Roveda arrived in Ibiza with his partner, Federica Frulla, and friends for a holiday. During the night of 28 to 29 September, the group separated, with Frulla and other members of the party going to DC10 while Roveda was expected to join them later.

In an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Frulla explained that Roveda sent her messages saying he was taking a taxi and was on his way. His final known message was sent at approximately 02:16.

Frulla said police had informed her that CCTV footage showed Roveda getting into a taxi on Avenida Vuit d'Agost and that the vehicle subsequently left him at the car park of DC10, where she was waiting.

However, it remains unclear whether he entered the venue or where he went afterwards. No confirmed account has established what happened after the taxi journey, and his last known messages remain a central part of the timeline.

Police Investigation Remains Open

The National Police are investigating Roveda's disappearance. In an update published on 22 October, Periódico de Ibiza reported that the force's judicial investigation unit was handling the case and that police had said there were no developments at that stage.

His family has continued to seek information and has expressed frustration about the lack of updates. In statements reported by Italian and Spanish media, Frulla has described difficulties obtaining information about the investigation and the last known movements of Roveda's mobile phone.

These concerns are the family's account of its experience. The available reporting does not establish that the authorities have stopped investigating, nor does it confirm what investigative information has since become available.

Family Raises Concern About His Health

One of the concerns highlighted by Roveda's loved ones is that he has diabetes and requires regular medication. His partner has warned that a prolonged interruption to his treatment could put his health at risk.

Friends have also described his disappearance as completely out of character, saying he was an alert and resourceful person. They have appealed for the case to remain in the public eye and urged anyone with potentially useful information to come forward.

Roveda is an internationally active mural and graffiti artist who works under the name Hello Marte. His projects have taken him to more than 40 countries, according to reports about his career, and include murals and public art installations in Europe and the Americas.

How to Provide Information

Roveda is described as approximately 175 centimetres tall, with a large, rounded scar on his left elbow. He often wears a baseball cap backwards. These identifying details have been circulated by his family and friends as part of the search appeal.

Anyone who may have seen Marcello Roveda or has information that could help establish his whereabouts is asked to contact Spain's National Police on 091.

The search remains ongoing. His family and friends are asking the public to share the appeal and report even seemingly minor information that could help investigators establish what happened after his disappearance in Ibiza.
