Italy has no shortage of art museums protectively housing centuries of priceless artwork, but if you’re tired of the oil paintings and white marble, and want something more contemporary, a walk through any of these street art capitals can be organized easily and on the cheap.

Orgosolo, Sardinia

The unassuming mountain village of Ogosolo might not seem like the place to go for something so modern as street art, but the culture of public murals—or more accurately, ‘graffiti’—in the town goes back to at least the 1960s during a period of social and political unrest when inhabitants would use this as a way to voice their frustrations. Nowadays, the street art memorializes scenes from the history of the town and its cultural heritage.
