Graffiti in via Ostiense Rome

If you walk 500m from the Piramide metro station, along via Ostiense you will reach a very big bridge. Above it there are the train rails and under it you will find some very interesting pieces of graffiti art. Its pillars are completely covered by pieces of different artists all mixed together to give soul to this space. And if you turn around the corner and walk down the nearby streets, you will find other wonderful walls. One of my favourite is just behind the corner and it's an entire building, now occupied, painted by the artist Blu.

This is an old area that, without this art intervention, would have been just another place that people would have been afraid to visit. But luckily someone decided to use this kind of public art as a way to beautify this space. And it works, not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from a social point of view. This spot is the example of the possibility of improving the perception of some public spaces using art.
