Graffiti v Art
The Blog has noticed, being observant, that Italy attracts more than its share of graffiti and like graffiti in other countries most of it says nothing of value and is annoying. But the Blog was wondering whether back in the day of Michelangelo and Raphael whether some of the frescos and murals painted on walls were also useless and annoying. Also is some of today's graffiti the classical art of tomorrow. The Blog apologises if he is getting a little bit too deep here but Peronis often cause this it seems.

The new stuff looks much better than the old peeling paintwork - maybe give it another two hundred years for the new stuff to age a bit. I hear Bristol has a lot of this graffiti type stuff - and you can see a 'Banksy' for free. As long as it is trying to say something and not just a scrawled name (ie a bit of thought and effort has gone into it) then I'm all for it.
