Monday 7 June: Street Art



As befits a town where students comprise over 20% of the population, street art flourishes in Bologna. We've seen stencils, paste-ups and sizeable murals, as well as general script commenting on Berlusconi and others. This roller shutter decoration was on a shop near Piazza Giuseppe Verdi, just along from the Opera House.

It did indeed read MAMBO, which stands for the Museum of Modern Art in Bologna
