He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himThey have already been renamed the "Panchinarte" but they are none other than that handcrafted benches created from old beds abandoned on the street. We are in Naples, in Spanish Neighborhoods in the historical part of the city.
In this place, often at the center of the news for crime stories, a craftsman and artist, Salvatore Iodice, gives a big slap to incivility, recovering i waste on the street and turning them into urban furnishings, at the service of collectivity.
For some time now, the creator of Mine laboratory, makes his available artistic vein per redevelop the alleys of the Spanish Quarters. With the project Riciclarte, after the creation of both 45 waste baskets with which, invites citizens to maintain the clean city than a ad hoc signage to orient yourself better, the three art benches.
Thanks to the help of his parents collaborators, Iodice after collecting the mattress nets abandoned in the street has made up for a service actually missing in the area.
“I look around and try to understand of what people need. I create works of art with abandoned or given away items such as frames, nets and pieces of cloth. I transform this material into an object to use and it I return to the city. "
A sensitivity, that of master of street art of Naples, which should move on one side, the consciences of citizens, on the other the I.NSTITUTIONS so that services are guaranteed.
The new benches black and white, now frame the alleys and recall the keys of a piano. The umpteenth sign that if you do commits things can change.
But the artist throws a warning: “My main enemies are the uncivilized, the thugs and the institutions. The first two are the ones who destroy my work. The bureaucracy, on the other hand, tries not to make me realize anything. In the Spanish Quarters, if you put up illegal posts to illegally park your car, no one tells you anything if you instead place litter bins and benches to let people rest, then they oppose you in every way. "
We hope that it does not continue to be like this and that this sign of civilization spurs every citizen to I will love their land.
