In October 2013, a young Saudi boy named Faisal visited Florence, Italy, with his family during a holiday.
While exploring the streets near Florence Cathedral, he had his portrait drawn by a local street artist named Artur in just 15 minutes.
The family took a photo with the artist and his finished sketch, capturing what seemed like a simple holiday memory.
Fast forward 13 years to October 2026, and Faisal returned to the exact same square in Florence, hoping to find the artist again!
Armed with the original photo on his phone, he approached a street artist and asked, “Do you know this man?”, setting the stage for a potentially heartwarming reunion.

A Saudi man named Faisal returned to Florence 13 years after having his childhood portrait drawn by a street artist named Artur. Hoping to reconnect, he visited the exact same location with an old photograph and began asking local artists if they recognized the man.
