Sicilian 'Crimes of Style'

I spent a long day at my desk. So, late this afternoon, I took a walk down Palermo's Via Vittorio Emanuele to spend some time at the Modern and Contemporary Museum in the Palazzo Belmonte Riso. On the way, I stumbled into some of what Jeff Ferrell calls "crimes of style"  - casual and not so casual graffiti. I felt as if the city was in chorus with the disenfranchised majority standing up to global corporate corruption and abusive government power. Except for Tano - he's ten and told me he just wanted to paint his name on the door.
