Ask HN: Why are Italian cities riddled with graffiti?

2•robomartin•1h ago

Just got back from spending a couple of weeks in Rome, Florence, Milan, Monza, Pisa, Napoli and a few other places.

It absolutely broke my heart to see the extent of the defacing seen almost everywhere. Watching local news, I never heard anyone say anything about it. Is anything being done to restore the beauty of these cities? It's really sad.
