<div>You're looking at 2 great spotted woodpeckers. They are known for creating the perfect home and evironment and defending their territory.<br>The Red and yellow refer to the colors of Lecce. The mural can be seen when entering the 167 from the US Lecce stadion.<br><br>The 167 neighborhood - built in the late 70's to meet the many demands for social housing.<br>This mural is located right across the infamous former "L'Aula Bunker".<br><br>Characterized by its large buildings, it was an involuntary witness of the worst time in the 90's thanks to the transformation of the "Zimbalo" elementary school, located in the center of the neighborhood, into "L 'Aula Bunker". This was the basement building where all the processes took place against the fourth mafia, the "Sacra Corona Unita".<br><br>The militarization of the neighborhood and the slow abandonment of the only commercial activities in the area led to a sort of social "glaciation", only many years later, thanks to interventions to enhance the squares, streets and public green areas, attention began to be seen greater towards this piece of town.<br><br>Over 10 years <a href="https://www.instagram.com/167bstreet/">167bstreet</a> is putting in great effort to make this zone a more attractive place to live. Part of this is the realization of murals since 2017.<br>Most of the architecture is pretty brutal with loads of concrete. The murals are a very welcome intervention which brighten up the area a lot!</div>

Dimitri Taxis

<div><strong>Dimitris Taxis</strong> through his mural described the moment of grape harvesting in a representative "frame". "Viktoria", the title of his work, an almost romantic image with warm and delicate tones presents a woman in the action of picking grapes at the center of a Salentine landscape during the harvest. A timeless synthesis that shows, at a glance, the relationship of exchange between man and his environment, inspiring the viewer to enrich the sense of identification with the land, the sense of love to their land and enforcing care for it.</div>

A self produced event with the goal of becoming a meeting point, comparison of ideas, styles and ways of living and producing urban art. San Cataldo, the sea cost adjacent to the city of Lecce. A magnificent and sadly abandoned place that has lost all its identity and attractiveness during the years, vanishing under the shadow of more famous costs in South Italy.</div><div>For one week this “ghost town” has lived in a creative and unexpected way. In seven days the large abandoned building in via Amerigo Vespucci, the emblem of the desolation, has been turned into a color bomb and images, rather than a building, a boat ready to sail with its load possibilities.</div><div>There was no need for a communique or an official presentation to explain to the bathers what was happening. Oltremare leaves not only beautiful murals from references to environment problem like TAP (transadriatic pipeline), but also a human and artistic experience of exchange and collaboration, imagination and comparison between those who live daily abandonment of these places and those who came from far away to help us reinvent them.</div>

"WORMBOOK"

<div><strong>Farhan Siki</strong>, an internationally renowned Indonesian artist, started his "works" with a surprising visit in Salento. Already for the third time, he will leave an indelible mark on the walls of the 167 district. He is creating an abstract painting, similar to a plot of alphabets that mix and overlap, allude to the beauty of the contamination of languages.&nbsp;</div>

Sabotaje al Montaje

<div><strong>Sabotaje Al Montaje</strong>, the artist who has lived all his life on the Canarian Sea is particularly sensitive to the environmental issues. On the wall, created in Lecce, he focused on the problem of water pollution. The monumental representation of a man watching his fish highlights the presence of plastic caps caught by the sea instead of fishes. Once again, sensitivity to the traditions, to the activity of fishing, and the link with the place, the sea, became artistic pathway to critically express the conflicting dynamics of nowadays.&nbsp;</div>
