Graffiti del Leoncavallo a Milano ottengono tutela dalla Soprintendenza

The archaeological and artistic authority for the Metropolitan City of Milan has officially granted legal protection to the graffiti of DaunTaun and other street artists at the Leoncavallo social center on Via Watteau. This marks a historic first for a national public body recognizing the cultural, artistic, and social significance of street art. Most of these works stem from the 2003 International Underground Happening, organized by Marco Teatro, featuring artists like Zibe, Shah (Silvia Potenza), Microbo, Atomo Tinelli, Stiv, Bo130, and more. This decision prohibits any removal, destruction, or modification of the graffiti without authorization. Established in 1975, Leoncavallo is a self-managed social center currently facing potential eviction and demolition, with backing from groups like Inward and the Mamme Antifasciste Association.
