An enormous work of graffiti art by Bruno Chersicla put Trieste in the Guinness Book of World Records!
In 2000, the entire surface of Unità Square became a work of art, setting a Guinness record.
Following a cartoon by the artist Bruno Chersicla from Trieste, 4572 volunteers used 3 tonnes of paint to fill the square's entire 9,323 m2, creating an enormous work of graffiti art depicting Trieste as the gateway to the Orient, set against a blue background with seven gold stars reminiscent of the flag of Europe.
