Okay, so he's not smiling. Photographed on the streets of Genoa, Italy. As many of you know, I prefer to photograph landscapes and other things of beauty. My entry for the Graffiti Contest. Thanks for looking a leaving a comment.

Vincenzo Claudio Spagnolo, was a fan of Genoa and was murdered around the soccer match Genoa vs Milan on January 29th, 1995.

The translation of the text on this artwork reads:
"Live in the hearts of those who remain and not die. Goodbye Claudio Spagna."

If such a 'message' was said to me, think I couldn't say anything anymore (as you know what I mean).

Intriguing graffiti capture and a very appropriate entry for the contest Doug!

Good Luck!

From the look on his face, I'm thinking he is a Harley man! BMW just ain't his thing. Nice one for the contest, Doug.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

Well it seems to be more of a sneer but it sure packs a wallop in color and size!

I see SEA has done our work for us Gibbs. It looks like a revolutionary sign.
Good find. Soccer fans will get a kick out of it.

Painted by a relative of Leonardo da Vinci perhaps? I do like the urban clutter (bikes and tags) - makes the view 'real'.
