The MURo walking tour: and so I’m back graffiti hunting at Quadraro

You already know how much I like M.U.Ro., the Urban Art Museum of Rome.

At the very top of my Top 10 off-the-beaten path spots in Rome, M.U.Ro. gives to all street art lovers the hope that even the ancient and classical Rome could become a street art’s Mecca.

Since my last visit in February 2014 many new murals have been painted and I was looking forward to coming back to check them out!

Street Art Tuscany

Arcidosso: Tuscany beyond stereotypes

Don’t get me wrong: I love Tuscany, and this short week long weekend between Volterra, Siena and Pisa was fantastic.

But after five days surrounded by gentle hills, fascinating autumn shades, geometrical vineyards, perfectly lined cypresses and olive trees, I needed something different.

Road - Trip Street Art Tirana

Tirana’s painted buildings

Visiting Tirana wasn’t into my travel plans but, as soon as I learnt that Tirana’s former mayor Edi Rama (who currently is the Prime Minister of Albania) is also a painter, I longed to see the colourful outcomes of his multiple mandates.

Considering his job of mayor of Tirana as “the supreme form of conceptual art”, Edi Rama brought new life to the huge socialist buildings characterising the capital town of Albania as a promise of a brighter and colourful future after the grey years represented by the Albanian past.

Another Rome || Portuense Street Art

Welcome to Trullo, the hood of street poetry and guerrilla painting

If Pasquino is no longer lampooning from his popular corner near Piazza Navona, the walls of Rome are still speaking in rhymes in Trullo district, a suburb in the western part of Rome, where seven guys are spreading metroromantic poems all around the hood.

Gaeta Street Art

One day in Gaeta: the street art festival, a sunny beach and a birthday cake

– “…and I guess now we should turn right”

– “nope, that’s no possible, let me see the map”

– “look…there it is!”

– “where?”

– “over there! Let’s go!”

On the 27th of July I turned 30 years old and I decided to celebrate with the ultimate graffiti hunting.
