In many towns in Sardinia (Italy)  there is a vast amount of street art, true open-air masterpieces gifted to us by the talents of the artists, some famous, some completely unknown.In these towns the walls serve as a collective memory for the community, expressing the personality and character of the people.This street art is photographed in San Sperate, near Cagliari, the most important city of Sardinia (Italy). In San Sperate there are many murals and graffiti: a museum of street art very interesting!   .      .     .  Photo © Daniela Serra  – All Rights Reserved

“Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. “ (Allen Klein). . . . .  .  .   Photo © Daniela Serra – All Rights Reserved

Pisa (Italy).Monumental Cemetery

sardartLeave a comment

The Piazza dei Miracoli , in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, recognized as an important center of European medieval art and one of the finest architectural complexes in the world. The square is dominated by four great religious edifices: the Pisa Cathedral, the Pisa Baptistry, the Campanile, and the Monumental Cemetery founded in 1277.The structure of the Cemetery represents an oblong cloister in flowery “Gothic” style, with the aim of accommodating the sarcophagi from the Roman period, which until then were scattered around the Cathedral and reused as illustrious Pisans’ burials. The building had to be a “large and decent, secluded and closed”; the result is one of the oldest medieval Christian architectures, destined to cult of the dead.In 1987, the whole square was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.http://www.leaningtower-ofpisa.com/monumental-cemetery-of-pisa/Photo © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved

Vera Bugatti is an Italian Artist and Street painter famous as a Chalk artist (with the traditional Italian Madonnaro technique) and 3D Street painter .She performed in several Street Art events all over the world.“As a street painter I’m first a visual artist. I draw my characters with chalk on pavement, streets or sidewalks in urban public areas. The ephemeral nature of this Italian ancient art form has taught me how to communicate immediately feelings to the viewer cause my work will disappear as soon as the wind blows, as fast as the rain comes”In Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) in 2015, he has made this work in the Piazza del Carmine, of great beauty.Photo © Daniela Serra – All Rights Reserved

”Bolgi created his Saint Helena (1629–1639) for one of the niches at the crossing of St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the choice commissions of his generation, for which he had doubtless been promoted by Bernini in preference to Finelli. Bolgi laboured for a decade on the figure that epitomised his career and, in some degree, his detraction: Wittkower remarked on its “classicizing coolness, its boring precision”, and its position directly across from Bernini’s masterful Saint Longinus invited unflattering comparisons.” – WikipediaTaken in St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome in #HeavyHdr #adriano
