  • In Rome, as in few other parts of Italy as well, you may find street painters like these using spray paints or crayons for some really striking art work right on the street. I am not sure if its a custom but some people do drop a few Euros, I hope in appreciation of the art rather than in pity. This guy is creating Jesus Christ on a pedestrian only street between Piazza de Popolo and Spanish Steps in the north western side of Rome.
