Men of Orgosolo, Sardegna, Italy

Gimp Cartoon

Orgosolo is a sleepy town in old bandit country in the mountains of Sardinia, Italy. Carrying on in an anarchic vein, its murals were started in the 1960s as a response to recession and social discontent. Some are in memory of the partisans who fought against Facism, others are about women's rights. In the middle of the day in summer the town is deserted, until the old boys start to emerge in the evening.
