Maupal street art in Rome's Ostiense area depicts giant seagull with CV.

A street art poster featuring a giant seagull with curriculum vitae clenched in its beak was affixed to a wall on Via Campo Boario near the headquarters of Rome's rubbish collection agency AMA in the Ostiense district.
The seagull was painted by Roman street artist Maupal, of Super Pope fame, who told Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera that he undertook the work because "our city is on the verge of collapse."
The seagull, seeking employment from AMA, listed its characteristics as "volatile, courageous, aggressive" while its hobbies include "eating fish, rats, dead animals and food waste."
