Great Graffiti In Naples, Italy, Part Two

This blog could last to infinity just on Naples graffiti examples. More highlights:

The city's patron saint, San Gennaro, looms large. And so handsome.

Curious mashup, political revolutionary Che Guevera and drug snorting football superstar Diego Maradona. Just break whatever rules you desire. Actress Julie Andrews, channeling the lovely sounds of music and a smooth action Uzi machine gun.

A bird and cat, taking a pause from fighting to ponder a fish. Whoa.

Jacked she-devil. Walk on. Surreal artist celebrity Salvador Dali, parodying yummy Chupa Chups lollipops. Kind of Spanish for Suck.

Best piece of graffiti in the city, a loving, heartfelt tribute to iconic actress Monica Vitti. She had recently died, in early 2022 at the age of 90. Vitti is best known for being a bit of a muse for director Michaelangelo Antonioni, starring in his groundbreaking films L'Avventura, La Notte, and Red Desert. Do yourself a favor, and the world, seek out and watch their films.

Great Graffiti In Naples, Italy, Part One

Naples has a reputation as a trashy, messy, kind of crazy part of Italy. Guilty. And what goes well with an undercurrent of mayhem? Graffiti. Mix it all up and you have a city that could be a bit of a back lot for a New York in the 1980s movie production.

Classic graffiti medium, a Metro train.

Two bigwigs of Naples, patron saint San Gennaro (Saint Januarius) and subversive Renaissance artist Caravaggio. Just kicking it, reading the papers. A more recent art world celeb, Jean-Michelle Basquiat, parodying for Starbucks. Graffiti, have fun with it.

The real patron saint of the city, football star and god, Diego Maradona. Shrines to him are everywhere.

More fun with art parody. Vermeer, Bitches and getting things done, magic. Michael Jackson as Marilyn Monroe in Andy Warhol's iconic portrait. Sweet.

No matter what alley you duck down, the graffiti is there to greet you.
