I MURI (revisited)

I have also photographed walls in African townships, in New York, China and many other locations. But Italy, and I come back to your question here, offers the most interesting context through its unique history. Nowhere else in the world were walls used as a medium for imagery in such a diverse and ingenious way. Al fresco, the painting on moist walls, was not only a mode of painting but the origin of painting itself.
