RESIDENTS OF LA STORTA COMPLAIN OF STATION CLEAN UP

An initiative to be highly praised.   On Saturday, St George's students together with Vivi Vejo onlus and Retake cleaned up the walls of the La Storta station parking lot.  Vivi Vejo volunteers picked up the trash in the parking lot and along the street that leads up to Via Cassia and ... guess what.. a group of italian residents complained that the graffiti were a form of art work that should have been left on the wall and that foreigners have to stop taking over their city... I wondered whether the trash, left over food, glass, plastic we picked up from the side of the street is also considered a"form of art"... in any case, I'd be pretty imbarrassed to to have to watch while foreigners pick up my own trash because maybe I'm just too lazy to do it?
