Mocking Berlusconi in Lampedusa

Awesome satirical piece showing Berlusconi in a clown's collar and in Mussolini type of garb and pose? CLICK PIC TO VIEW LARGE.

I snapped this last week in Lampedusa, an island in the Med about 40 minutes flight time from Sicily. This is the island which has been the scene of many desperate boat landings from Africa. Policy changed this year and an aggressive push-back ( to Africa) policy has been set in place together with some agreements with Libya....In that context, this piece must be seen as critical of Berlusconi and his government.

Anti-fascist stencil in Rome

On saturday I went to a massive march in Rome demonstrating against
racism and racist laws in Italy. Here is a snap I took in Trastevere
of a very effective stencil. Trastevere is a charming area of Rome. It
is also covered with stickers, paste-ups, graffiti and street art!

Street artist self-portrait? In a Rome Squat

Click the image to enlarge.

I was filming at this squat earlier this year. It is gigantic in terms of size and you could use up a lot of space on your camera's card snapping the various bits of graffiti and street art. Incredible place.

Pace tra gli oppressi Guerra agli oppressori

"Peace among the oppressed War to the oppressors." This is another shot from the Rome squat I have featured before HERE. There are a lot of political stencils in Rome. In this case it is a straightforward hand written slogan.
