Roughly 3,000 square feet on three sides of muralist Héctor Duarte's home and studio is covered with his "Gulliver in Wonderland" mural, a frequent stop on public art tours in Pilsen. It features a giant, outstretched Mexican immigrant as Gulliver, struggling to break free from the barbed wire that binds him. Duarte's murals and studio work deal with themes of identity, immigration, and freedom.

Nestled just east of Western Avenue between 23rd and 25th Places, the area traces its Northern Italian roots to the 1890s, when Tuscans settled in the neighborhood to take factory jobs at the McCormick Reaper Works on Blue Island Avenue. This is different from Little Italy in Chicago.
