Sgraffiti in Casoli is an event launched in 2006 which takes place annually during a weekend and to which participate several artists.
In these days traditional graffiti are engraved on the walls of the small village in tribute to the artist Murabito who lived and worked there. He was responsible for the first graffiti on the village square. This initiative arouses the interest and the will of participation of many artists.
Since 2009, Franco Pagliarulo is the art director..
The sgraffito is an ancient technique that comes from the fresco. Widespread in 1500 and during the Art Neuveau period on the exterior of the buildings. It is a fresh incision of several layers of colored mortar.
Since 2011, during the weekend of the event a workshop will be held for anyone interested in learning the technique.
