My Time in Rome was very nice! I love the culture and the creativity the city had to offer. I noticed the graffiti walls through out the city, but the meaning, is what really caught my eye! As long as people in general, and Romans in particular, have been around, we've had the urge to make our mark. Graffiti also gives us insights — often both humorous and humanizing — into past cultures!
Street art is usually painted with permission or commissioned.Graffiti is illegal, but it is precisely this illegal risk that gives it, its counter-cultural edge. Street art, on the other hand, is most often done by artists who have received formal training. You will see 8 popular styles of graffiti - Tag, Throw-up, Blockbuster, Wild-style, Heaven, Stencil, Poster, Sticker.
Here are a few stops to make while visiting, to capture some amazing pieces - Metro A – Piazza di Spagna, , Quadraro, Pigneto & Torpignattara, San Basilio, Trullo! San Lorenzo happens to be my favorite! Home to students and street art; from Via dei Volsci to Via degli Enotri and a collective wall through Via degli Ausoni, there is much to be seen. It houses the works of many famous international street artists including a block-long mural by Alice Pasquini.
But, with so many talented Artist, why choose?!
Artist Lucamaleonte’s Nido di Vespe (a name given to Quadraro by Nazi authorities) uses the symbol of the hornets’ nest to represent the neighborhood’s resistance during the “Unternehmen Walfisch” deportation. At the far end of the mural, the scientific formula for resistance has been included to represent the resilience of residents who would rather starve at home or die in concentration camps rather than give up their ideals of freedom.
Where do you go from here, well what does your art say!
