Cretaed for the fifth edition of Pulpa Festival, check the full map here.

My first time painting in Italy, and I'm already dreaming of my return. Everything about this experience felt magical—the incredibly welcoming neighbors, the seamless organization by the Pulpa team, and the joy of creating alongside both longtime friends and new connections.

That magnificent 16-meter wall was calling for something bold. I envisioned a full character lost in dance, surrounded by a symphony of small figures making music around her. This piece pushed me completely outside my comfort zone—I abandoned my usual spray cans for brushes and acrylic paint, embracing an entirely different artistic language. It's been my goal this year to take on challenges like this, and I couldn't be happier with how this first major leap unfolded.

The Pulpa Festival in Montesilvano is a vibrant, free event dedicated to street art, urban culture, and intergenerational inclusion.

Now in its fifth edition, Pulpa offers a rich program: live painting and graffiti battles, street art workshops, a digital QR-tour with 66 murals accessible via QR codes, music, street food, creative activities for children (including those with disabilities), urban sports (3x3 basketball, skateboarding, kickboxing, pickleball, wheelchair tennis), exhibitions, fashion shows, and talks with urban culture professionals.

The 2025 edition continues to focus on urban regeneration, community participation, and the international promotion of artists. Each mural is made accessible with multilingual QR codes, and youth are actively involved through co-creative projects like the Youth Work Summit (May 27–June 1), which includes the creation of a collaborative mural.
