Graffiti is a common sight in Rome. I am not sure what Romans think about their doors being spray painted, but I think it is a positive addition to the atmosphere of Rome (of course I can't read what the words actually say). With so much preservation of ruins in Rome, it's a rather refreshing sight to see some haphazard color added to the city's streets. These are only a few pictures of graffiti-ed doorways, I could have taken hundreds of pictures of them.
This is not graffiti exactly, but a type of street art. These are sliding doors covering booths for the daily open market in Trastevere. Each door says "Before I die..." in a different language and people wrote a wish from their bucket list on the doors in chalk.
