Milan is well known for is its enormous grafitti problem. It is internationally regarded as having one of the worst problems in Europe, mainly caused by the city's local youth. It is layered in many parts of the towns and has made its impact throughout the city. This is believed to be caused by Milan's anti-grafitti laws, which Milan residents largely regard as a joke.
