Rome Street Art District: Ostiense, Garbatella e Tor Marancia

ROMA_STREET-ART_MURALES_TOR-MARANCIAThe Ostiense District is an initiative that seeks to enhance and promote the Ostiense area as a contemporary space. The project aims to promote the area lying between the Piramide and San Paolo, with its adjacent points of interest that are not always part of the traditional tourist itinerary, with a map specifying the interesting stopping points. This includes advertising campaigns, new hard-copy and digital IT services and specific site installations, the first of which have been commissioned to artists Clemens Behr and Spy.
The event was supported by the Office for Culture, Creativity, Artistic Promotions and Tourism – Department of Culture of Rome Capital through the ‘Public Notice “Creative Rome“.
