I saw a number of interesting doorways throughout the city of Florence and was quite attracted to this set of brass lion’s head door knockers. Some say graffiti is just art on a different canvas but I’ll bet the homeowners weren’t exactly thrilled with this form of contemporary artistic expression. On the other hand, they didn’t remove it, so perhaps they liked the contrasting styles.
@kali66 Agree! Elizabeth, I'm of the school that taught respect for the property of others. In 2022 if seems no one is supposed to say how they truly feel as they try to voice acceptance of a popular notion. You and I know one another, so I hope you understand I don't want to disparage you, but in my opinion, Firenze doesn't deserve such disrespect! Get a canvas to hang in your own room!
@milaniet@phil_howcroft@kali66@Weezilou@cwbill@rickster549 Thanks so much for your comments. I was actually shocked to see so much graffiti (not street art) in both Florence and Rome, cities that have a treasure trove of historic art and sculpture.
