Eron, the Street Artist Who Gave a Soul to the Walls of the Riviera
Walking through Rimini, Riccione, or the hidden corners of the Romagna coast, you might suddenly look up and stop in your tracks. On an ordinary wall appears a soft, ghostly image — a face, a story, a presence. It’s the unmistakable mark of Eron, one of Italy’s most poetic and powerful street artists.
Who is Eron?
Born Davide Salvadei in Rimini in 1973, Eron is a pioneer of Italian street art. He combines traditional graffiti with airbrushed realism to create delicate, almost photographic works. His style is subtle, atmospheric, emotional.
Art that whispers, not shouts
Eron's works speak of migration, social issues, peace, and memory, always in a quiet yet profound way. One of his most moving pieces, “Forever and ever...”, is painted inside a church — an unusual place for street art, yet deeply touching.

His bond with the Riviera
Eron captures the Riviera’s soul — not just its summer joy, but its hidden stories. Through his murals, walls become canvases of emotion.
Conclusion
Eron doesn’t decorate — he tells stories. And once you see one, you’ll never forget it.
