Anyone know what the Hogre sub-Banksy stencil means?

Have been there myself, but only for the day and then to the touristy places like the Trevi Fountain, the Colessium, the Appian Way, and The Vatican. The only time in my life where I think I technically entered another country simply by crossing the road (very quickly)

I would have guessed Italy from the Hogre pic!

People are getting too good at this! Paul: just googled the road as I didn’t know precise street name. Sounds about right. It was near a covered market with Bangla fish stall, I have another pic of Bengali barbers almost identical to last year’s one in Lavapies, Spain…

One of the shop fronts is actually recognisable on Google Street View. Are there any prizes for answers to this competition?

You are the champion of this. To know the phone prefix system in Italy is pretty impressive. The tube stop is Vittorio which seems to have it’s own Bangla-town. The only ref google is throwing up is here from 2009 calling it a “mixed” rather than “Bangladeshi” area:

It is Rome, based on the 06 dialing code on one of the ads in the window.

Not Malaysia though.
