We’re passionate readers here at the eCool Compound. It’s not just books that we read, of course. There are certain people who frequent the eCool Compound who read anything and everything that crosses their line of vision: cereal boxes, free newspapers handed out on the street, every ad on every billboard, and, above all, the endless graffiti that’s splattered across all of Rome.
Some of Rome’s streetside scribblings are senseless. Others are objectionable. Some rouse one’s curiosity, while others induce admiration. It’s those with sentiment that we search out, however, like this teen-aged paint-penned commentary found on a bench in the playground in Piazza San Cosimato.
Our favorite part? It’s the philosophical musing written in mint green: Gli amici sono come le stelle…non li vedi sempre ma sai ke esistono, which translates to, Friends are like the stars…you don’t always see them but you know that they exist.
