Aggiornamento del 24 luglio 2025: l'opera «The Migrant Child» è stata staccata dalla parete e trasferita in un caveau. Nelle settimane successive il murale sarà restaurato. Bellissima notizia! Il seicentesco Palazzo San Pantalon (l’edificio sulla cui facciata è riprodotta l’opera) è stato acquistato da una banca che si prefigge di attuare un interessante progetto di restauro e promozione: farlo diventare un importante centro espositivo di arte contemporanea in cui artisti affermati e giovani promesse passano confrontarsi e arricchire il patrimonio artistico e culturale della società, stimolando riflessioni e interrogativi su temi importanti come l'immigrazione e i diritti umani.

Glad to see Banksy in Venice

Awesome to see a Banksy in its "natural habitat" lol. Sadly, I've noticed a big decline in the image from September 2023 til now (June 2025). If you're a fan, it's still worth the short trek from San Toma vaporetto stop.
