Visit the laboratory of urban art Stalker.

" There is nothing more subversive today, more alternative way of thinking and acting that walking. In a world dominated by technology, walking is the most common gesture, and therefore more human in a ' period in which no more speed but the rush seems to have become more and more virtue, walking is an act of resistance, a gap, and now that is subject to an appropriation and appearance, walking invitation to be light and to rediscover our inner life, now dominant in the thought that half the reason is that all calculation and measurement to achieve the intended purpose, this split breaks down the walk: along the middle and end, and travel goal. How did they know the ancient Greeks who walks alone is free, and for that is exposed to risks: the risks of freedom . Adriano Labbucci (President of the Provincial Council of Rome)

They do also like to explain to their fellow citizens in times of evictions and "security pact," we can live together and understand one another.
