Graffiti was the ultimate escape, reflects photographer Valerio Polici in Huck 51 – The Adventure Issue. Cutting his teeth bombing the mean streets of Rome, Europe’s underground scene became was his world.
Running from the authorities, living on your nerve, and forging lasting bonds with other writers, becomes an all consuming lifestyle, and the danger, the illegality of it all, pulls people in and keeps them coming back for more.
