[...] year at this time, some of you were disturbed when I posted Scribblings on a Seawall–love notes written in Catanzaro Lido. Yes, graffiti has a tendency to annoy me [...]

Interesting comments

I’m not a huge fan of graffiti either, but in Italy, it’s absolutely everywhere–Shelley (At Home in Rome) posted on this as well.

For me personally, I don’t know…I suppose all art is objective anyway, so I’m not all that offended by the scribbling on the wall; except for the last pic, you really can’t tell there’s anything written on it until you’re up close. And if you’ve ever been to Calabria, you know there’s not much to do, especially at a beach with no waves, so reading the love messages actually gives you something to do (although Cherrye, Peppe, Dawn, and I seemed to be the only ones even paying attention to them)

Hi there!

Just wanted to let you know that I continued the story I started a few weeks ago. You can read it here:

Around here if someone tried to paint their love like this a city crew would be right behind to paint it over. The padlocks would probably be a more permanent sign. Oh well.

Happy LT.

I’m with Giulia on this one, it’s sad to see the graffitti, but I suppose if they are going to vandalize something then better messages of love rather than obscenities. Somehow I prefer initials carved into a tree (is it any different? I don’t know). Not something I would expect to encounter in your beautiful world!

Nothing as pure and innocent as young love.

Have you and P carved your names anywhere?
