Bergamo Graffiti - Writing on the Wall

A collage of different tags in Bergamo, Italy.


In a previous post, Bergamo Street Art Stencils, we covered the theme of stencils on walls. In this post we show a sampling of tags found on walls. We found some of the tags in surprisingly "rural" locations, away from the city center. Because we snapped these photos on our way to do something, be it going out to eat, shop, or hike, the tags are just what we saw, not necessarily the best representation of what Bergamo has to offer.

Bergamo Street Art Stencils

A collage of different street art stencils in Bergamo, Italy.
We've been in Bergamo, Italy for a few months now and everything has been a rush. All along though, I've been snapping photos of walls. Here are a few of the stencil-related pieces I've seen, with the exception of "1907" which was written. All of the shots are with a radius of a 1km or so from Porto Nuovo in the città bassa.

Left: 1907 refers to the foundation of the Bergamo Atalanta soccer team. Center: A missile in the head. Right: Lega Nord punching bag.
 

Left: Surveillance Camera. Center: Cattivi studenti (“bad students”). Right: La fine di ogni politico (“the end of every politician”).
 

Left: Il  domani, rock beats scissors(?), oggi è nostro. Center: Il futuro, rock beats scissors(?), oggi è nostro. Right: We are all junkies.
