Default The Madonnari -- Street Painters

American artist and sculptor Kelly Borsheim is living in Florence and has joined the ranks of the Street Painters. Her blog often shows her works in progress as well as comments the trials & tribulations of the street painters.
Basically, the City govt is trying to oust them...what a shame if it happens. Another bit of the 'Old Country' is getting chipped away...(and to what end? to make room for the counterfeit purse salesmen?)

What is it about the Madonarri that the police are objecting to? Is it that the nearby business owners are objecting to the clutter in the street? Or is some sort of license required? I looked at some examples on the web and they are very talented and beautiful.

Thank you.
