Wanna know where to find this wolf? Don’t go looking in a cave on the Palatine or even in the Capitoline Museums. This is a She-Wolf that’s hit the streets. You’ll find her painted on temporary walls in the pedestrian gallery on Via Tritone, where the Rinascente department store is currently staging a small street art exhibition meant to tempt us all to visit the larger Scala Mercalli exhibit that opened in the parking garage of Rome’s Auditorium yesterday evening.
We, of course, are partial to use of classical themes in graffiti, so we were especially pleased to see La Lupa sprayed on the wall. But she’s not the only ancient Roman to be featured, as the 7 Kings make a rare 21st century appearance in the Via Tritone exhibit as well. Click here to pay homage to their royal highnesses.
