we visited pisa in february and had some things in mind to visit during our stay. we missed this one about 2-3 times when we were heading for the train station to take a train to florence/lucca/livorno. yet, we knew it was somewhere on our way - seems it was in a narrow street with a construction site on the other side of the building. pretty unfortunate for us, since you couldnt get a good view of it with the construction site in our backs. but that aside, if you are into pop-art, thats the thing you should visit.
If you are in Pisa you must visit this painting. It is free and really worthy. You can have a relaxing coffee in the nice bar in front of the murals. You Will have a nice experience!
Apart from all the beautiful historical sights, Pisa also has a modern sight since 1989: "Tuttomondo" by Keith Haring, his latest work before his early death. Keith has made several murals, but they were never everlasting. That's why this mural is so special, because it will stay in Pisa for forever. The figures in this mural symbolize peace and harmony. There is man with a dolphin on his back (symbol for the relationship between man and nature), there is motherhood and a pair of scissors cut the snake (symbol of evil).
I don't. There is much better graffiti everywhere these days. Still, if it rocks your boat, go for it!
The restaurant that overlooks the murale is very good value so good view while having a beer or glass of wine.Not sure of Haring work very odd but might appeal to someone but not me
While visiting Pisa, we went to see that mural. Looks very good. As our hotel was very close to mural, we went there few times to take pictures when no people around.
The painting is really nice and you can look at it the easiest way, if you take a coffe in the nice Café that's vis-a-vie the painting. The stuff is really nice and helpfull, and they also speak a little english or german. You can sit in a semi open terrace and watch people walk by and study the painting. If you are spontaneous you even can by one of the nice espresso cups and you even get a spoon with it. My mother tried :). So enjoy your Café while you watch the really impressive painting.
We pass by the mural everyday we were in Pisa. It is in a rather grungy area. It is nice but we've already seen many of Keith Haring's work in California at various locations: in the Art Centre of Design, Pasadena and in the Museum of Modern Art, downtown Los Angeles for starters.
Great mural near Garibaldi Piazza, easy to find, very colourful, interesting and worth a look. A different highlight in Pisa.
When I discovered that one of my favorite contemporary street artists came and loved the city of Pisa, I was really excited since Pisa is a beautiful city where the past and modernity overlaps easily. Being close to the train station by only two walks, makes it easy to visit! Anyone that has to change trains, and has a waiting period of 30 min. or more, can easily walk there as it is only two blocks away, on the left of the entrance of Corso Italia. It is easy to see as the Mural is on the wall of an old church facing a coffee house/bar.
