The Top 15 Murals of Political Street Art in Rome

Political Street Art in Rome Born out of a fierce need for expression of strong social disadvantage, every year street art is becoming more and more vanilla.

The spreading of urban art festivals has a lot to do with it: curators usually want something aesthetically nice, which will please everybody.

It’s gone from a tool to convey radical political messages. Now street art has become a ‘tool’ to decorate walls – probably the cheapest way for public administrations to show that some action has been taken to redevelop the outskirts, even if they’re only putting up a façade (no pun intended).

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

Lucamaleonte M.U.Ro. Quadraro street art Roma

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

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!

Grandma Bistrot: the taste of Quadraro neighbourhood

Grandma Bistrot in Rome, Quadraro

Sticking to my plan to try the very best of This is Food Festival -but at the original restaurants’ locations-, last week we went dinner at Grandma Bistrot, one of the restaurants that struck me more during the festival at Officine Farneto.
I must say we really looked forward to this eating experience, so let’s start admitting that maybe our expectations were too high… This, and the fact that, out of a table of 5 people, 4 professionally work with food (ok, I’ve numbered also myself among “the foodie 5” and I’m not actually cooking food for living, but still…) and the one left is engaged with a cook.
