Baresi Mural Outside Casa Milan Defaced With Red Paint

Overview

• Photographs first shared on social media showed red paint sprayed across Franco Baresi’s face and over the artist’s signature and lettering on the mural outside Casa Milan.
• AC Milan staff and local police have launched inquiries and are examining nearby CCTV as they try to identify those responsible for the attack.
• The mural’s creator, Luca Rosada (Lucas.streetart), and the club say the artwork could be restored or remade at a larger scale to improve visibility and deter repeat vandalism.
• Any immediate repair or a larger reinstallation cannot proceed without authorization from Vittoria Assicurazioni, which owns the wall where the mural stands.
• Former players and public figures have condemned the act and linked it to recent disrespect shown to other tributes, prompting wider questions about fan conduct and how clubs and cities protect memorials.
