On the 15th December 2008 in the upper square of the Spianada in Corfu Town an attempt was made to take the Guiness World Record for the "Longest Graffiti Scroll" and...... CORFU TOOK THE RECORD! The event was organised to raise awareness of "xamogelo toy paidioy (Smile of the Child)" for their current project "Stegi Zois (Roof of Life)". Smile of the Child is a national charity in Greece and has an orphanage in a village not far from Sidari, looking after 20 children. The record was taken from Spain with a Graffiti Scroll of 700.92m in length and 1.6m wide. Laid by 150 volunteers and painted with hearts by 2,503 local art students! In the late afternoon, the representative from the Guiness World Records, declared that Corfu pocesses the Guiness World Record for the Longest Graffiti Scroll! The report can be seen on Longest Graffiti Scroll, run it through Babel Translation to read it. There is also a picture slideshow. Below is an aerial photo of the square (the Liston is to the bottom left corner of the photo, with the cricket ground to the left) and also the video from Youtube. Many congratulations to all involved and let's hope that the event raises awareness and money for the charity and the children it helps.
