About Me

Ciao, my name is Giulia. I'm a writer who is specialised in street art and graffiti. Since 2011 I have run this independent street art blog, which has been the media partner of important street art festivals around Europe.

I work for creative enterprises and museums, and my writing was published in street art catalogues and art publications.
