Pierpaolo Perretta, aka Mr. SaveTheWall, is an Italian artist from Como.
Mr. SaveTheWall was not immediately born as an artist. In fact, he began his career in a very different world from the artistic one, where he also became an important manager.
As time goes by, however, he begins to feel the need for a change, to finally put his great creativity and talent to good use.
Moved by his great passion for art and, in particular, for street art, he therefore decided to devote himself full-time to this new activity. In 2013, he gave up a secure and well-paid job to express his vision of the world and society through art.
Mr. SaveTheWall immediately proves to be a different kind of street artist. In fact, he declares himself against the defacement of walls and, for this reason, decides not to create his murals directly on the walls, but to use easily removable adhesive tape. He also uses recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, such as cardboard.
This gave rise to his stage name, which literally means Mr. Save The Wall, fully declaring his desire to protect urban decorum.
