To some he is an urban icon, a street artist dedicated to bombing his tag on more, and riskier, places than any other in the UK.

But Daniel Halpin – or Tox, "king of taggers" and scourge of London Underground's cleaning force – faces the possibility of prison walls as his only canvas after a jury decided his art was vandalism and convicted him of criminal damage.

Copyright 1963 ARIES, 2005 Editions Montparnasse The Italian movies of 50s, 60s and 70s invented a new way to depict geography of Italy after second world war, especially urban landscapes.

By describing what was supposed to become the geography of the new Italy, as well as its new architecture, urbanism and land planning, the Italian filmmakers wanted to show future face of Italy, turning back to the past.
