I have photographed the Armani wall before, but I had not noticed the little park in front of the wall until recently. In my defence, last time I was in front of the wall it was covered in a huge photo of David Beckham proudly wearing Armani underwear – very nice. David has been replaced and I was able to drag my eyes away from the wall.
It is hard to get an idea here of the size of this wall – it is huge. You can get a sense of it by looking at the people underneath. There is a delightful little park below the photo, a green space between the buildings.
The park is maintained by Emporio Armani in collaboration with the Milan authorities. I’m sure it is popular with locals.
Look for the park – and the wall- on the corner of Via Broletto and Via del Orso.
I have trawled back through thousands of photos and I have found David!!! Lucky you.
Lucky us indeed! Grazie!

Nice piece of eye candy.
Not sure I’d want to share my husband with the world, in his undies!!!

No soccer ball and no socks I believe, why else would Victoria call him “Golden Balls”!!!! 😉

I’m sure he has a lovely personality and that is why Victoria loves him so much.

hehe the “wall of David”-a non naturally occurring phenomenon that is a tourist attraction in itself! 😛

Boom… What a hottie! Lucky us indeed. I quiet like the idea of having a wall like this, Canberrans just don’t seem to get into the billboard, I might put forward this idea, I mean… Who wouldn’t want to drive by this everyday???

In general I like almost all Armani desigs. Now I know I also like -and very much- their wall in Milan and the little park… and that 2008 underwear advertisment!
I agree, something so beautiful has to be showed, shared, just at a visual level…

Good grief, no wonder you’ve never noticed the park before! I forgot everything I’d read when I got to the last photo in your post.. 🙂

He certainly keeps your eyes focused on his undies.

Which is what Mr Armani had in mind I am sure.
