From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghost Pitùr is an Italian artist of unknown identity, who cleans and repaints walls vandalized by graffiti. He is active during the night in the city of Brescia, Lombardy,[1][2][3][4] and has been portrayed in media as a superhero.[5][6]
He hides his identity by wearing a hoodie and not showing his face in the videos he posts on his social media accounts. The only information he provided about himself is that he is a professional painter who works during the day, and undertakes facade restoration work at night. He has stated that he does not seek fame or recognition.[7]
After repainting the walls, Ghost Pitùr leaves a note saying "Questo è un atto d’amore urbano" [This is an act of urban love].[8]
In an interview, he has expressed that he is not against urban art in general: "When I see a well-done piece of work, with a message, a plan, a chosen color, a true artistic intention, I stop. I like it. I would never touch it".[9]
