Milan graffiti

Like Barcelona, Milan deserves its own space. They are quite varied, colorful and widespread.

I remember arriving in Milan by bus, but I do not recollect from where I came. Did I fly into the airport? I think I did. Or did I arrive by train and then take a bus? I think the former. As usual, I was travelling alone.

Well, the bus pulls into the railway station in Milan and, as usual, I head for the tourist desk to try find somewhere to stay.

A few days later, I was downtown, eating roasted chestnuts, visiting the church, museum. What to do next? I hopped onto a tramcar and, after about 15 minutes, spotted an incredible mural, a whole block long, on a wall. I got off the streetcar. I call it mural because permission must have been given for this work, a part of which appears above. Maybe 95% of the graffiti in this set results from that area alone. Just another lucky encounter.
