Banksy's Restored Venice Mural 'Migrant Child' to Tour the City
The Banksy mural known as 'Migrant Child,' originally painted on the Palazzo San Pantalon in Venice, has been restored and will be showcased on a tour through the city's canals. The restoration was funded by Banca Ifis, which purchased the palazzo and commissioned the conservation work. The mural, depicting a child with a flare and life vest, is one of only two Banksy works officially recognized in Italy. The restoration project has sparked discussions about the preservation of street art and its role in cultural heritage.
