The municipality of Fornelli in Italy’s Molise region is set to unveil a monument honoring Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin (BTC). The artwork, designed by artist Mattia Pannoni and funded by the local government, will be revealed on May 1. Fornelli Mayor Giovanni Tedeschi emphasized the importance of embracing new ideas from the youth. Fornelli boasts the highest density of Bitcoin adoption globally among its 1,800 residents. This initiative follows similar efforts in places like El Salvador’s Bitcoin Beach and Switzerland’s Zug, known for accepting cryptocurrency payments. Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity, shrouded in mystery since the 2008 Bitcoin white paper release, continues to intrigue artists and investors. Many artworks portray Satoshi as a faceless figure, often depicted in hoodies or at a computer. The monument in Fornelli’s Piazza Umberto I area will be unveiled next month. This move underscores the town’s commitment to cryptocurrency and innovation.
