Murals in Italy have a long and fascinating history, dating back to antiquity, but their contemporary form – as street art – flourished in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, Italy is one of the most important places on the map of European street art.

Diego Maradona's murals in Naples and Calabria create a kind of symbolic bridge between the two parts of southern Italy, where the figure is not only an icon of football, but also of the identity, rebellion and pride of the people of the south.

Maradona murals often combine religious style (such as icons and images of saints) with pop culture.
