Street Art in Florence - Pandemic in Progress! Here is Covid-19!

Here we see a mural with a strong effect and large dimensions, fresh paint and very current, dated 2020: the Covid-19 represented as a scary slobbering monster, in his hand a can of poison to spread disease and death. You read at the base of the wall: pandemic underway! face...

The Lebanon Cedar and the peace in the world

Until recently, the park of Villa Fabbricotti was dominated by a wonderful example of a Lebanon Cedar, right at the top of the hill. The trunk 8 meters wide, almost 25 meters high and 200 years old. For its beauty and monumentality it was chosen by the District Council of...

Street Art in Florence - Lockdown stories: Dante Alighieri caught without a mask

Fantastic this work, certainly dating back to the lockdown in March and unfortunately already in an advanced stage of deterioration. Protagonist Dante Alighieri, acknowledged father of Italian literature and language, author of the “Divine Comedy”, dressed as always in red and crowned with laurel. Arrested as caught without a mask...

Wolves Coming in Florence

Street Art in Florence – S. Vanitas, S. Pecunia, S. Bellum

Street Art in Florence - Archer baby-girl riding a spider

This impressive figure of an archer baby-girl riding a giant spider, a very detailed and impacting image, leads us in a revisited mythology, in a fantasy world, perhaps referring to some comic or saga we are not able to identify. Who will be hit by her arrow? Via dei Maccheroni, Florence.

Street Art in Florence - The blue bee

Also this work, like the Dinosaur with a Cap, is located on the external walls of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the University of Florence, along with other important works. The bee, a nice animal and a symbol of industriousness and organization, suggests a positive and constructive message,...

Street Art in Florence - Dinosaur with a cap at the university

This tyrannosaurus is located on an external wall of the University of Florence, Faculty of Literature and Philosophy. What is the message? An obsolete and aggressive culture? But why green? Via degli Alfani, Florence.

Street Art in Florence - Hanging on a horse ring

On the ancient palaces of Florence you can still see the iron rings where the horses were attached. Little men could dangle down attached to a ring ... Via de' Pucci, Florence. 

Street art in Florence - Flowery thoughts

Here we see flowers growing from a little girl's head. The crowd cheers, almost venerates her. Is innocence true creativity? Via Bufalini, Florence.
