“Basilica di San Lorenzo, one of the oldest churches in the city, is among the highlights of the street art tour. Commissioned by local parish, Don Augusto Casolo, who wanted to highlight the difference between vandalism and contemporary art using the church wall for creative purposes rather than meaningless graffiti. He put together a team of outstanding artists, including Mr. Blob, Encs, Gep, Luca Zammarchi and asked them to visualise the past, present and future of Milan.This work of art represents important historic figures like Napoleone Bonaparte, Giuseppe Verdi, Alessandro Manzoni, Leonardo da Vinci as well as events such as conflicts between Sforza and Visconti families and the second world war.” (Milan Street Art, MilanExperienceTours)
