The department store conglomerate known as Rinascente is leaving aside its stodgy image to sponsor the making of street art in Rome!
Last week, with the support of Rinascente, street artists set up temporary walls in the pedestrian gallery on Via Tritone and staged a street art exhibition called Scala Mercalli: The Creative Earthquake of Italian Street Art (it sounds better in Italian).
Artists like TV Boy, Ivan, Ozmo, Kayone, Zen Two, JB Rock, and Thero put on a public painting display and in doing so produced a large number of artworks still visible in the passageway. Naturally, we took a spin and shot some photos and we’re here to share them with you now.
Probably none of our readers will be surprised to discover that we’re entirely enamored of the 7 Kings graphic shown above, for it seems to make reference to the earliest history of Rome.
But, as seen below, there’s some other hot stuff on display as well. Stay tuned for more tomorrow.
