We’ve been to France, Belgium and Spain, and now it’s time for Italy to get a splash of colour as our Wall to Wall tour around Europe continues with Rome-based artist and illustrator Hitnes in Naples. We caught up with him as the paint dried to chat discipline, inspiration, and one big cassowary….

Hitnes joined us in Naples as we continue our celebration of street art across Europe, with his intricate, colourful take on street art. Watch him in action…

Giacomo is 22 years old, goes to art school in Milan but comes from the country, and that’s exactly what makes him so special: you can tell that everything he is, every single thing he did, he did it standing on his own feet.
