Vesod just recently finished a new mural in Piazzale Selinunte, Milan. This artwork is part of the Arte a San Siro project. Vesod’s mural features children on swings over twisting birds-eye-view urbanscapes. “Art in Sancero” is a project that includes realizing frescoes on the facade of the buildings of the region to revive it aesthetically and dynamically; open to artistic influences as well, and coming from a variety of cultures.
Vesod Brero is a street artist from Turin. His artistic attitude has been fostered by his father Dovilio Brero, surrealistic painter, whose influence has an impact on Vesod since his youth: he has been therefore developing an interest in the graffiti world since the beginning of the 90s. Maths, which is the subject he got his graduation in, has an important impact on his works along with renaissance art and futurism. This can be recognized in Vesod’s attempt to harmonize anatomic proportion and futuristic dynamics.

Italian artist Millo have recently collaborated with Non Solo Murales di San Gavino Monreale for another mural. Entitled “Balance”, the murals features Millo’s signature child-like creatures balancing different found objects over a cityscape. This mural is located in San Gavino Monreale, Sardinia, Italy.
“The last months’ events forced and are still forcing all of us to find an inner balance. We suddenly found ourselves in a dystopic reality and we had to struggle to find the strength to go on and out. This wall is about this. How to use what we have and how to find an equilibrium in ourselves.” Millo said.

One of the most active and committed artistic projects in Italy is certainly the one best known as Guerrilla Spam. It was born in 2010 in Florence (Tuscany), in the form of spontaneous poster art in urban spaces where artworks were not often signed. Within a few years, the artistic collective gained visibility and attracted the attention of archaeological and contemporary art museums all over the country.
The project today alternates the practice of poster art, paste up to public muralism interventions in Italy and abroad, by creating artistic and educational projects focused on the importance of the theme of migration . We enter in Guerrilla Spam imaginary by discovering the beauty of different cultures living in the same geographical territory
Their latest work, Nomad Carpet, was designed site specific for the project Imagine Piazza Tirana curated by BASE Milano and Bepart with the contribution of the Municipality of Milan.
Piazza Tirana and its basketball court have become a sort of Monument of the imagination, coloring itself with digital figures and animations with the aim of transforming the visual narrative of Giambellino, an emblematic neighborhood on the southwestern outskirts of Milan. Thanks to the support of the guys living in the neighborhood, the basketball court has maintained its sporting function alongside the decorative one.
The concept of the work is told to us by one of the protagonists of the collective:
” The carpet is an object that has always performed two parallel functions: a practical and an ornamental one. It was born and developed among the nomadic populations, who change settlements frequently and who, with the carpet, move the soil of their home. It is a daily object that must be used: it is the space on which we meet to talk, eat, where weddings and holidays are celebrated, where we sleep and pray.
But the carpet is also an artistic object that decorates and beautifies the space, which identifies a certain family, village or culture of origin based on colors and symbols.
The metaphor of the carpet is used here to redefine a space, in particular a basketball court, transforming it into a new place for the community, a new meeting place. Just like on a carpet you can meet in this new ideal square to be together “.
