Stencils in Rome
Besides the thousands of pieces of art found in churches and museums here, thousands of pieces of graffiti can also be found along the streets of Rome. Sadly, much of it is just 'junk'- tags from young punks trying to get known or gawdy political slogans.
Still, there are the wonderful blowups that you can encounter on the trains or near the train station, and my personal favorite, stencils.
I don't entirely understand the reasons for these specific pieces of street art or for street art in general, but I'm interested in learning more. And, that's enough for me to post :)
My buddy Ryan has also made a couple nice stencils. Check out Wooster Collective for some more interesting street art.
