The wall of the De Amicis school in Bergamo has been transformed over the past months into a canvas where artists have painted using various techniques and styles within the diverse world of street art. The works range from more figurative and representational techniques to those focused on the study of letters and their forms (lettering), the search for geometric order (mandalas), and experiments in participatory art. The diverse shapes and colors bring words to life, turning the artwork into an alphabet of multiple signs and meanings.

A wonderful surprise awaited the students of the De Amicis Comprehensive Institute in the Celadina district on their first day of school. During the summer months, a group of 13 young artists from Bergamo, under the artistic direction of Squareworld, created a collective urban artwork, covering the entire wall surface of the school, over 200 square meters of art.
