Italian town to unveil locally financed Satoshi Nakamoto monument
Summary
The Italian municipality of Fornelli in Molise will dedicate a monument to Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, unveiling it on May 1. Designed by artist Mattia Pannoni and funded by the local government, the monument reflects Fornelli's high Bitcoin adoption rate among its 1,800 residents. This initiative aligns with global trends where regions like Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador and Zug in Switzerland use cryptocurrencies to attract visitors. The identity of Satoshi remains unknown, inspiring artists to create faceless representations. The monument will be located in Piazza Umberto I.
