Blek le rat with Edy Piro at Cans Festival

He looks like him, but it's actually him. One of my dream just came true. Last week at the cans festival I finally met Xavier Prou the father of stencil art, back in the 80's. He has been in my mind since I was passing by his pieces in the narrow alleys of Naples every day when i was a student, without a clue of who could have painted that Jesus silhouette on that wall. After a few years I finally realized that Blek was the artist making more interesting my everyday walk to the  university. I missed the opportunity to see Blek on Sunday painting in the tunnel at the show, but I then bumped into him and after looking at his fingers all painted in black I decided to stop him and ask for a picture. We had a quick chat and then i left him. That made my day. Thanks Blek and.... yes Banksy ;-)
