San Lorenzo, an up-and-coming art district in Rome, is home to a wide range of street art, including a block-long mural by Italian artist Alice Pasquini and a number of poignant stencils. Here are some of the pieces — many timeworn — that I captured.

Within the same 10-block radius of Bushwick’s vibrant graffiti walls are some of NYC’s most expressive street art pieces. While many are fashioned by locals, others are the work of artists from abroad who leave their mark on Bushwick’s walls. These range from C215’s 2009 seductive stencils – some of which we’ve only recently uncovered — to huge pieces by ROA on some of Bushwick’s grittier walls.
