Abstract
Our cities are important spaces for informal education to citizenship. Cities are made by both elegant streets and dormitory suburbs, which are often really poor in urban culture. This decay often is the mirror of the culture of suburbs’ inhabitants, which aren’t interested to improve their culture. In Naples the street artist Jorit tries to retrain these suburbs painting faces of eminent people on the walls of buildings. In this way, he makes these places more pleasant to live in and concurs to build in-formal education paths, because these painting invites to reflection about socio-educational topics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
