BSF partner Luigi Macioce was featured in the newspaper ItaliaOggi, where he commented on the opportunities and problems of digitizing physical pieces of art through NFT and the use of blockchain for the traceability of transactions related to art.
"Technology seems to have opened new horizons for the dissemination, protection, classification, and authentication of works of art,” Luigi explained. “This happened on two moving borders. The first is traditional works of art, that is the tangible objects (paintings, sculptures, etc.) or intangible objects (books, screenplays, etc.), whose fruition is intended for the real world. The second is the explosion of digital art starting from the phenomenon of cryptopunks in 2017, which sold for tens (sometimes hundreds) of millions of dollars. Blockchains, smart contracts, and NFTs have immediately attracted the attention of operators in the art world always looking for greater certainties and guarantees of ownership and the rights connected to them.”
