Skim Mural

True street art has the task of bringing colour to our city and displaying freedom of expression. This mural in the San Donato Park was inaugurated during the March for Human Rights on 8 October  2020. The message is certainly meaningful, intended as a testimony to the efforts of pupils and teachers during the difficult year of 2020. The painter is SKIM, an eclectic street artist born in 1985 and living in Florence.
