View on Banksy Graffiti (on the old derelict house on the other side of the Canal)

The view on Banksy's graffiti in Venice is a mixed bag of reactions. Some folks think it's a cool and necessary disruption, adding a modern twist to the city's classical vibe and shedding light on important issues like migration. Others, though, see it as an unwelcome intrusion, messing with Venice's traditional aesthetic. It's sparked debates about where street art fits in historical settings and whether it should be preserved or left to fade away naturally. Overall, Banksy's 'Migrant Child' mural has definitely made a splash in Venice, stirring up conversations and challenging perceptions along the way.
