Under cover of darkness in the north Italian city of Brescia, a masked man has become famous for performing “acts of urban love.”
Armed with a paint roller and the moniker “Ghost Painter,” this unknown citizen stalks the city streets, painting over graffiti left by vandals.
Like all Italian cities, going back to the days of the Roman republic and likely earlier, Brescia has seen its fair share of graffiti. It can seem ludicrous that anyone would get the urge to vandalize the stately facades of buildings between 100 and 400 years old.
Nevertheless, it happens, and Ghost Painter ensures it “unhappens.” Little is known about Ghost Painter, but he has revealed to passersby that he is in fact a painter by trade, who works during the day and emerges at night, hooded and masked.
“Not all heroes wear capes,” one YouTuber who filmed the man in action wrote in Italian.
Once his work is done, he pastes a flyer on the wall—a calling card—reading “This is an act of urban love.”
