My definition of street art also includes advertising, signage, posters, stickers, graffiti and shopping bags.
Trieste
Venice
Bologna
Some people describe Bologna as the "Food Capital" of Italy. I'd argue it also can claim the title to street art, due in large part to the high percentage of university students in the population.
Rolling shutters make perfect canvases.
Tilda is always up to something.
My two favorite pieces of agit prop were posted next to each other on a wall near the Collezione delle Cere Anatomiche "Luigi Cattaneo."
And the Italians should know from dictators.
Florence
A pizza parlor must lie behind these shutters.
Any resemblance of the cedar trees to the Emerald City is purely a coincidence I'm sure.
The Orchestra della Toscana imagines what an 1866 portrait of Giuseppe Verdi by Giovanni Boldini (known as the "Master of Swish"!) would have looked like if Andy Warhol had screen printed it.
Milan
I didn't expect to see a reference to my birthplace in Milan, that's for sure.
Visitors want to leave their marks on the Duomo.
I did a double take when I saw that an inexpensive American brand was coming to town. I guess if Italians will chow down on McDonald's, they'll wear Champion, too. Go figure!
