B. R. Ammazzate in Rome

When Bill and I are walking in Rome we always keep an eye out for graffiti by A. R. Ammazzate.

I feel a spark when I see one of his drawings of a Euro bill,

or a drawing of a name. Note the small-case "t".

Or one of his phrases: Non credo. "I don't believe."

Or one of his signatures -- the "t"s like crosses. When we posted his work in 2017, his nephew wrote and told me the artist's name is Enzo Romano and that he lives in Palermo.

One morning Bill and I were climbing Via Rasella to get to the Barberini and I noticed an Ammazzate head.

And another head a few steps on.

So Ammazzate was here before us and left us this trace.

Two Ammazzate faces, in context, placed at eye level.

Looks like someone tried to erase this one and gave up.

Because the one on the right is undisturbed.

Continuing up Via Rassela, I've not seen an Ammazzate like this one before.

Here is the face.

Love at first sight with this face, further up the hill.

Right at the top of the Rasella. We're at the museum.

We'll leave you with this lovely drawing from Via del Gesù,

and what we think of as an Archaic Smile, found on Via del Vaccaro, near Santi Apostoli.
