Street Art as Social Infrastructure  

Street art doesn’t just decorate a city, it can quietly become part of how a community lives, gathers, and remembers. From Maradona’s face in the Quartieri Spagnoli to the murals of Ponticelli, these walls aren’t just images but shared reference points, shaped as much by people as by paint.
For years, Ciro Maiello kept the window of his apartment in Naples’ Quartieri Spagnoli tightly shut. Not because of the noise, nor the narrowness of the streets below, but because when he opened it, it opened directly onto Diego Armando Maradona’s…

Streets of Minneapolis

Streets of Minneapolis dimostra come la musica può ancora avere un forte valore politico e sociale.
