A weathered poster, with another small poster on top of it, on a wall in Bologna, Italy.
Today I interrupt the nearly-continuous stream of fall color photographs to insert another from our 2023 summer travels through Europe. This one comes from Bologna, where there is a lot of “street art” and graffiti, to put it mildly. It ranges from crude text scrawling to some quite fascinating work. This isn’t precisely street art, as it began life as a poster of some sort… but if you look closely you’ll see that there are layers here.
The poster was glued to a wall and surrounded by a frame — unlike real street art which rarely would be present that way. But do note the thin band of typically-colored Bologna wall around the central element, and note that already another small poster had been layered on top of it and that it has been defaced in some subtle ways.
