This mural by Adèle Zanni is a street-art piece in Montreal, Canada, painted in 2013 on a wall in an alley at 1250 rue de Bellechasse. The site sits in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough, on the city's east side, where the streets are largely residential and a short walk from neighbourhood life.
What to expect
The work was produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, managed by SODER, which commissions murals on public and private walls across Montreal. It is a fitting stop for anyone interested in how the city has used its laneways as open-air galleries rather than only as service passages.
- Type of visit: a short, free walk-by look at a painted alley wall.
- Setting: a ruelle, so it is best approached on foot and viewed with some care for the surroundings.
- Artist: Adèle Zanni, credited for the 2013 work.
Around the mural
Because the mural is set in a residential borough, it pairs well with a wider wander through Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, where you can find local shops, cafés and other street art along the side streets. Visitors who enjoy urban art may want to combine this stop with others in the city's murals programme.
