Street Poetry

Graffiti on the Ponte Principe Amedeo

A sweet sentiment has appeared on Ponte Principe Amedeo, the bridge leading from the Trastevere/Vatican area to the historic center in the area of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini. It reads:

Chi getta semi al vento fara fiorire il cielo…

or

Whoever throws seeds in the wind will make flowers in the sky…

A bit of googling suggests that the author may be one Ivan, a self-appointed street poet who has painted the same lines in other cities and who, since 2003, has been staging poetic assaults in Italy’s cities.
