When street art was born

They were real anonymous “signatures” left by young people in the most unthinkable places: buildings, metro stops or inside trains. In this way the artists emerged, they took up new spaces.
At the end of the last century in Europe many graffiti artists began to offer their works also on posters or paint on the wall. The goal was the pursuit of mass communication. For street artists, art must belong to everyone and must be enjoyed outside the hitherto deputy places, such as museums for example.
