As lot of you may know, Rome is the capital of art and architecture and history but in the last decades, unexpected side of this city is emerging rapidaly. Many street artists are flowing into Rome to spread their art in the suburban area of the city. They are basically turning many of the ugly periferies into real open museums.
As you can see the entire buildings are completely covered by huge drawings. Many tourist agencies are planning new tourist routes which involves not just the historical downtown, but also some periferies which are full of this different and modern form of art.
This is my fevourites one
If you are planning a trip to Rome it maybe worth to have a look around the city and check these street art.
