On September, 29th of 2007 the deputy mayor of Milan, Riccardo De Corato neofascist coalition, has declared that this graffiti must be soon erased.
In the last days the municipality already erased numerous others graffiti, also two historical graffiti dedicates to Dax-Davide Cesare and Mumia Abu Jamal.
We think it is unacceptable that someone can simply decide to eliminate this piece of historical memory. It is also shameful that the municipality of Milan thru its antigraffiti campaign try to attack and delete what it has been and ever will be a precious artistic and historical patrimony for the entire city and for so many persons all over the world.
We invite all to sign this petition and to spread it. We also invite to sign this petition to everyone think that art is a free and unerasable form of expression and life and to everybody also think that the war against graffiti and the young writers is an unacceptable expression of intolerance in Milan as in New York, in every large metropolis as in every small cities.
We invite to act and to make a stand against this scheduled cancellation to all the people all over the world do not want to forget Carlo Giuliani.
