street art tour + food

Saturday November 23
Not many people who visit Brindisi know this, but in the suburb of Paradiso you will be amazed by the amazing street art. Many of these special murals can be seen at Via Egnazia. If you are looking for something fun to do on Saturday, November 23, join this tour that also takes care of the inner man. It starts at 10.30 AM in the bar at Via Egnazia 35. The coffee will be ready!

Transfoming urban spaces
It will be a special day to discover how this neighborhood is changing thanks to the urban renewal project promoted by Arca Nord Salento and the collective ImmaginAbile, who together with Pa.St.A (Paradiso Street Art) create new murals to transform urban spaces. 

Lovely tour and Pasta Paradiso
After having a coffee together, we will leave for a tour that will take us to the murals that are located in the neighborhood. At the end we will meet for a community lunch organized by Caponata on the road, a traveling kitchen that, with a passion for good food and sharing, brings the taste of traditions with a touch of creativity. Our philosophy is simple: to bring together people, dishes and stories in an atmosphere of exchange and conviviality. For the occasion, Caponata on the road will offer "Pasta Paradiso", a recipe specially developed to celebrate this day and the neighborhood that hosts us.
