Alessandro di Giampietro is one of these impudent roustabouts. For the past decade he’s been working out of Milan, taking pictures of pretty girls and weird clothing and other things his countrymen like.

He’s also involved with Milan’s Office for Urban Transformation (OUT), these guys who stage weird public exhibitions like installing palm trees in the middle of city streets to try and get people involved with city planning and mapping out public spaces to suit their personalities. This may sound like a bunch of fruity hippie-style civic activism, but you know who else was big on fucking with the urban environment? The Situationists. And as any nerd worth their salt knows, what were the Situationists responsible for besides one pretty solid riot and a bunch of unwatchable films? Oh, just a little thing called punk.
