THE ICON - No alla Violenza

no alla violenza

The classic 'No alla Violenza' slogan T-shirts were produced by Burro for the Italia '90 football tournament.


The t-shirts became an instant hit, an integral part of acidhouse scene, and football stands alike and by the summer of 1990 there was hardly anyone in British pop culture from the farm, Blur, and Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim) who didn’t have one.


The slogan ‘No alla Violenza’ also made it into the British charts as the remix to New Order’s World In Motion created by Andy Weatherall.
