Ciao Readers! And Happy Passover!
As you may recall, there is a “guerrilla” artist here – Clet Abraham – a French dude who has been living in Florence for years and creates street sign art by applying adhesives to the signs (you can really see the adhesive on the blue arrow sign, below). Since I already wrote an entire post about him, I won’t repeat myself here. (I included photos of many of his ubiquitous signs in that post if you want to check them out.)
Well, it seems like after many months of the seeing the same signs all over town, new signs have started to appear. Now, I can’t swear all of these are new, and not just ones I missed somehow, but I know the policeman in love with a big check (I think) is, as I pass that sign every day and this just appeared. I am pretty sure the “walk like an Egyptian” sign is new as well; and while I have never seen the “Pieta,” the fact that other stickers are on the sign makes me think that maybe it is not as new. In any case, they are always a fun treat:
