Opiemme Bus Stops with Memorie Urbane and “In Attesa”

January 16, 2014 Artists

Italian Street Artist and text-loving wordsmith Opiemme hit bus stops last month in the cities of Gaeta and Terracina – about 75 miles from Rome. While he has done a number of freelance customizations of public space in the past with his text pieces, this one is part of a project by Memorie Urbane called “In Attesa – Art at the bus stop”. As you can see, Opiemme’s hand cut stencils are pure poetry – deliberately arranged.
