Street painting has a long history? How has it begun?
Street Painting came up in Italy in the 16th century and is regarded as one of the most important representatives of the traditional art.
In Italy street painters are called "madonnari" (Madonna painter). As the name "madonnari" already points to, the Italian Street Painting
has been a form of the religious art since its foundation. Historically madonnari were traveling artists who stood for a life at liberty and self-determination. They
used many festivals and the religoius celebrations (which are also unique even today in Italy) to exersise and present their Chalk Art. They lived exclusively on the
donations of the people. Miracles, religious icons and ex Voto pictures which are given to the church to the deference for an answered prayer were the genre of the
"madonnaro".
Today the genre is not only religious anymore. When was the change and how did it come to this?
