ROVERETO, THE SMALL TOWN OF CULTURE, PEACE AND BITCOIN
Rovereto,
situated between Trento and Verona in northern Italy, is known for its enchanting Christmas Markets and the magical atmosphere of Christmas located in every corner of this renaissance city with its typical artistic handcrafts, clothing, sweets, typical food and wines .
Rovereto is the city of Culture with its international museums and its historical monuments but also the city of Peace where every evening at sunset the largest bell in the world that plays in the distance, built in memory of the fallen of all wars and fused in 1924 with the bronze of the cannons of the nations taking part in the First World War, it rings 1 hundred strokes as a universal peace warning.
Yet this town of almost 40.000 inhabitants, in recent times the city has been talking about itself cause it managed to implement what Satoshi Nakamoto hopes from 2009: to operate a parallel monetary system to the traditional one.
Maybe you've already heard of it, if not I hope to satisfy your curiosity leaving you some interesting links on Rovereto and the players who have started its process of change:
Well yes!! Rovereto is considered the Bitcoin Valley of Italy and it is probably getting closer to establishing a circular Bitcoin economy that elsewhere in the world: with its 73 payment points, 45 of which are shops, and 7 ATM machines that allow euros to be converted into cryptocurrency, it can certainly be considered the Italian capital of Bitcoin digital currency.
It all started in the "Mani al cielo" wine bar, in Piazza Malfatti in the center of Rovereto, when the owner Giampaolo Rossi met Marco Amadori, developer of Inbitcoin, and from their conversation, the foundations were laid to transform Rovereto into the city of the future.
It was January 28, 2015 when Rovereto made the first transaction with Bitcoin, still the whole world wondered if Bitcoin was just a speculative bubble and expected at any time its ultimate implosion, but in this small town nestled in the Trentino Alps, started a revolution. From the dentist, from the gas station, in the pizzeria to the hairdresser, just using the smartphone or the tablet and through the QR code of the payment, people made their transaction in Bitcoin, their first steps in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Big businesses happen, it takes very little, some dream to realize, some smart persons who believe in dreams and ready to get involved to make them come true and a community no matter how big it is, what matters is how ready it is to support people who know how to dream.
