~An Italian village will unveil a locally funded monument to Satoshi Nakamoto~
The municipality indicated that the work of Satoshi, which will be revealed on May 1, was designed by a local artist and funded by the Fornelli government.
The Italian municipality of Fornelli, in the Molise region of Italy, will dedicate a monument to the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoins, Satoshi Nakamoto.
In a post on April 23 on Facebook from the municipality, Fornelli said it plans to present the artwork of Satoshi on May 1. The details about the monument were not clear in the announcement, but the municipality said it had been designed by the artist Mattia Pannoni and funded by the local government.
“It is important, indeed fundamental, as an administration, to take into account all the new ideas that come from our youth,” said the mayor of Fornelli, Giovanni Tedeschi.
According to the local government, Fornelli has the “highest density of Bitcoin adoption in the world” among its approximately 1,800 residents. Other regions have tried to use BTC or other cryptocurrencies to attract visitors, including the Bitcoin Beach area in El Salvador and the Swiss city of Zug, which accepts cryptocurrency payments for many local goods and services.
~Portraying a faceless individual through art~
The identity of Satoshi, whether a single individual or a group of people, remains one of the greatest mysteries in the crypto space since the publication of the Bitcoin white paper in 2008.
