24-hour surveillance for the Migrant Child, Banksy's work created on the surface of the water on the facade of an abandoned house in Venice.

In recent days, Banca Ifis - which has decided to take charge of the restoration of the work - has ordered the control of the mural by the security guards of the Raiders Vigilance of Mestre.

The service should last a few days, until the meeting between the bank and the Superintendence, to define the methods and times for the restoration.

The recovery and safety intervention was requested by the former undersecretary of Culture Vittorio Sgarbi, amid controversy from the world of street art, who instead believes that the fading of these works is their natural destiny.

The fear is that the work could be vandalized before the safety measures are implemented.

If this were to happen, the property, owned by a company of Paduan entrepreneurs, would also be affected, given that its value has increased since the moment the British street artist left his signature.
