Street Art in Florence Florence

An open-air museum

Laura from Florence

"The "Street Art in Florence" isn't always easy to make out, but I highly recommend waking up early in the morning and setting out to discover it!"

Sometimes it's hard walking around in Florence, because there are so many people and you can't always notice the contemporary art melted with the historic buildings of the city. So, I suggest you wake up early in the morning and take a walk from San Niccolò through Ponte Vecchio to Lungarno Santa Rosa and discover Florentine street art.

I guess that everything started with the French artist Clet who lives in the neighborhood of San Niccolò, where he has his own studio in Via dell'Olmo, 8/r (free entrance, have a look!). He started urban art in Florence by altering street signs with stickers. Then, Exit Enter arrived with his stick human who in simple ways tries to enter or exit an imaginary world.

Another artist you can easily notice is Blub who uses famous artists or popular portraits in ironic ways for his artwork called "art can swim".

But it's not just walls where you can find artworks. The Moradi Il Sedicente create animal sculptures with recycled materials. You can find these sculptures along the Arno river, in a public garden or even in the middle of a roundabout!

The last artist who has decided to express himself in the Florentine streets is Post Hit, but I don't want to tell you anything about that one. Go and find his artworks for yourself!

Florence Spotter Laura

I'm a grown-up girl, but I feel like I am 27. I work in a theater company in Florence, I live with my boyfriend, Andrea, who is a kind of nerd... I like my sofa in which I can watch my favorite shows, I like visiting temporary markets, going to the cinema, finding secret places in my city. Sometimes I don't remember where I live, so I'm surprised to ride along Palazzo Vecchio and Ponte Vecchio and I suddenly feel astonished and happy by all this beauty. My boyfriend says that I have a problem with my short-term memory, but I usually forget listening to him! Why Floren...

The friendly bar downstairs

"The Gran Cru" is something between a beer shop and pub in the south of Florence. I like how it has a friendly atmosphere and the tips by owner Francesco.
