Street art in Livorno, a photo from Livorno, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

Livorno offers magnificent photographic views, but I preferred to show first some street art compositions that I find very original. The main photo does not need comments, you will surely recognize Leonardo's Mona Lisa. In the two WS of the men with balloons, which Carlo told me they can be found everywhere in Livorno and Tuscany and made by an artist named "EXIT ENTER" (thanks to Carlo for the info), while the other WS shows a protest against all parties for the management of the crisis due to Covid.

Livorno offre magnifici scorci fotografici , ma ho preferito mostrare per prime delle composizioni di street art che trovo molto originali. La foto principale non ha bisogno di commenti, sicuramente riconoscerete la Gioconda di Leonardo. Nei due WS degli omini con palloncino, che Carlo mi ha detto che se ne possono trovare ovunque a Livorno, mentre l'altro WS mostra una protesta contro tutti i partiti per la gestione della crisi dovuta al Covid.

Bonsoir Luciano,

Les oeuvres d'art de rue ont l'air vulgaires. La prise de vue permet de voir les d閠ails de la murale et de la sculpture. L'image est claire et pr閏ise. Bonne soir閑.

Ciao Luciano,
I like this unique street art view, even though some art fans might not appreciate Mona Lisa sitting on a toilet. :-) It's an interesting combination of pieces, including the tiny person on the far left. It's a cool scene. Take care!

Luciano, the two grafittis and the statue draw attention by their originality. Mona Lisa is often respected and here she is depicted in an embarassing situation. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Ciao Luciano, originale e dissacrante la Gioconda sul water, bella testimonianza di street art e scelta non consueta di immagini da Livorno, comprese quelle dei Ws, molto curiosi gli uomini col palloncino, ne ha per tutti lo striscione del Covid, ottima testimonianza in tre foto di gran qualit�, bravo, ciao Silvio

Greeting.
Interesting sculpture and paintings on the wall, well shown with beautiful colors, contrast and good text.
Good work with photos in the workshop.
A dangerous virus has changed everything.
I wish you a nice day, all the best.
Paja.

Salut Luciano,
Tr鑣 particuli鑢e cette fresque murale bien dessin閑, excellente nettet� et bon rendu des teintes, on peut aimer ou pas cette repr閟entation mais il faut reconna顃re que c'est original et bien photographi�.

papagolf21 (152607) 2020-09-08 23:51

Bonjour, cher ami Luciano,
Des vues qui peuvent choquer les 鈓es sensibles (au sens large).
Cela dit, voil� des compositions peu ordinaires et originales.
Amiti閟.
Philippe

Hello Luciano,
This is your most entertaining contribution for some time. The Mona Lisa is cleverly painted with a good trompe l'oeil effect, and the statue of a blonde woman is also well done. I like the WS too, but I wonder why the men with the balloons are found all over the city.
Best regards,
Gert

ikeharel (113345) 2020-09-09 4:03

All those are considered as graffiti, Luciano.
Combined a whole different objects on one corner.
Nice how the Mona-Lisa kept smiling while sitting there...
Ciao,
Ike

Quite an oddball ensemble. The works are pretty good in themselves, but I think they loose impact when they are put so close together.

Benny

PS: I assume the bikini girl is a statue?

Witaj Luciano!
A very interesting set of photos.
Street art knows no bounds.
Good framing and coloring.
Well done.
Nice evening.
Krzysztof

ktanska (44766) 2020-09-09 9:42

Hi Luciano,
A strangely fascinating street art scene. All those details seem to be unrelated and still I like the combination, but don't ask me to explain it!
Kari

jhm (211736) 2020-09-09 9:46

Ciao Luciano,

We get a wonderful scene od street art, or graffiti new style.
Also a little Mona Lisa in position.
Lovely angle, also nice perspective and depth image.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice evening,
John.

GyurMaster (24830) 2020-09-09 11:37

Hello Luciano,

Excellent collection of photographs, but no doubt that the main upload is the best among them. I have never seen this version of Mona Lisa before. :)

Best Wishes,
Gy.

PaulVDV (62892) 2020-09-09 12:00

Hello Luciano,
Seeing the thumbnail I thought for a moment that there was a real lady on the left sitting on something and her face looked very similar to the one of Mona Lisa.
The full format photo is hilarious!
This is a photo you had to take and show us here.
Since Mona Lisa is busy in the magazine, I hope that the lady with the special red bathing suit will occasionally go off the block to flush the toilet next to her.
Did Carlo explain you what the meaning is of the men with a balloon?
Livorno has a good sense of humor where your main photo gives the most fun.
Best regards, Paul

luciano

curious the men with balloons, they looks like in 3D.
funny the monalisa. I presume it wasn't painted here, only a collage.. nice artwork.
take care

carlo62 (81265) 2020-09-09 13:09

Ciao Luciano
ma tu non eri contrario a queste forme d'arte???
Bel quadretto, vari artisti e varie figure in una unica soluzione.
L'artista dei palloncini si chiama Exit Enter e si trova un po' in tutta la Toscana e anche oltre, se guardi in questa foto, in basso a sinistra, � uno dei sui personaggi.
Saluti
Carlo

Hello Luciano,
An interesting collection of street art here. Well spotted and captured together. The three main works of art have got quite different styles and they stand out well from the wall behind them.

Hi Luciano
Superb trio - great street art, especially "Mona Squatter".
cheers

Ciao Luciano, A nice discovery of the street art in Livorno. Not especially beautiful bur very amusing view of Mona Lisa sitting on the toilet and reading. The sculpture is also funny. The Workshops are interesting but it is the best.
Kind regards Malgo

foxy (3461) 2020-09-11 5:46

Ciao Luciano,
Molto cattiva.....and erotica :-)
Mona and Eve are doing their best in a provocative way to allure the passerby like you. Who wouldn't stop to gaze at it from head to toe like the street art on the right, mind explosion 'too hot to handle'.
:-) What is Adam been doing? Playing with balloons. He got no balls :-) Do you? Like Mona and Eve. If you do, like the street art on the left, a lady singing, 'Hallelujah'.
Thanks for sharing this sexy fantasy shot.
Loong

Royaldevon (85932) 2020-09-11 13:10

Ciao Caro Luciano,

I like street art that is humorous or very good quality but not so happy with scrawled signatures and the like.
The trio on your main post shows invention, especially the Mona Lisa, serenaded by a vocalist,
The little balloon carrying figures are delightful.

My warm regards,
Bev 😊

dekanski (9365) 2020-09-12 13:22

GREAT! Funny. like it!

mcmtanyel (68503) 2020-09-13 20:56

Hello Luciano,
Oh, my! Quite imaginative! Now we get the full picture of why Mona Lisa looks so relieved in the portrait.
Regards,
MT

mkamionka (74407) 2020-09-15 4:47

Ciao Luciano,
quite an extraordinary art indeed. The main upload will certainly change the way I look at Mona Lisa forever.
Some parts of the art are actually standing out of the wall and the paintings are so good that it is actually hard to tell sometimes what is painted and what is real. For example the legs of Mona Lisa seem to be three dimensional.
Lovely street scene,
M

freedahu (824) 2020-09-15 8:22

Bonjour Luciano,

J'adore, le tout ensemble est hors contexte....et s閜ar閙ent ton oeuvre aurait moins de pouvoir. j'aime aussi le c魌� iconoclaste de cette photo...et le sourire de Mona Lisa...

Bonne soir閑

macjake (98456) 2020-09-21 21:26

Hi Luciano
I think i've seen this same scene on Instagram a few times, so it must be quite popular, and I can understand why, its kinda funny. the little woman on the far left singing is pretty cool too, lots of fun here. it would have been great if you could have waited for an old woman to stand and stare at them :)
cheers
Craig

alvaraalto (42804) 2020-09-24 2:44

Hello Luciano,
I enjoyed this original street art from Livorno.
The unbridled fantasy of turning the daily reality into art and bringing real art back to the everyday is an ever-fascinating theme.
Excellent observations
Have a nice day, groet Rob

PiotrF (54666) 2020-09-29 13:27

Hello Luciano,
Interesting view of street art in Livorno .
I like fine details,nice colours and good quality.
Fine presentation.
Regards
Piotr

ChrisJ (171822) 2020-10-12 2:20

Ciao Luciano,

Missed this one. Someone has a wicked sense of humour! I particularly like the Mona Loo-sa, oops Lisa. The red figleaf bikini in unusual but the strangest is the one armed rose at right. Good sharpness too. Tfs!

burmaman (1336) 2020-10-17 23:53

Hi Luciano!
Great art and a good shot.
I`ve never seen Mona LIsa likte this.
Is this respectless?
NO, she has her human needs too.
A foto that makes me laugh!.
Regards,Ronny
