In words, pictures and graffiti.

More and more, the bad graffiti in italy is becoming covered by good graffiti. Genuinely artistic stuff. I see it on walls. In my little city, Carbonia. In Sardinia. The scribbled slurs. Have been replaced. By colorful and imaginative artwork. Including tributes. To soulful musicians. Such as James Brown. A wall that I walk past every day, has a likeness of Brown and a saxaphone player.  Of course, there's still too much bad graffiti. Which now appears for the first time  on the city's kiosks. Telling the story of Carbonia's rich history in Italian and English and pictures.  And graffiti. --Jim Broede
