Via Italia
Erie Street E. Windsor, ON, Canada

We love that Tourism Windsor Essex used the Via Italia mural as an example of one of the many positive things being created and built in Windsor despite the trying times. We couldn't agree more! It brightens even the gloomiest days. Let Tourism Windsor Essex know what you love about #yqg and share your images with them with the #yqgstandsstrong! (We know where we'll find our favourites to share! )

Our beautiful mural welcomes people on the east end of Via Italia on Erie Street. It represents the heritage of our community as well as the loving bonds and respect that the younger generations hold towards those who have come before them. Grazie to the Governali family for allowing us the space to install the mural. Grazie to Tourism Windsor Essex for the partnership, and grazie to DERKZ for bringing the vision to life. Most importantly, GRAZIE to the courageous and dedicated people who built the foundation of this community, and to those who continue to strive to make it a safe and welcoming neighbourhood for all to enjoy.
