Topic: [Meeting Planning] Bitcoin Collectibles Exhibition - Italy Q4 2025 (Read 799 times)

Great to hear!
Milan is for sure a sensible location and a little bit more easy to travel to.
You could pair it together with PlanB 2025, so that all the OG that gravitates around there during that time of the year might be interested in visiting!

Keep us updated!

Here we go! Let's take off the mask
I am already working with some good friends in Milano to have this event for Q4 2025!  
Meanwhile, if other collectors/sellers/creators want to take part in some way on this initiative please reach me in private or just TG @user276514
Enjoy your time guys!

thank you bitbollo for the very good and high-quality photos. the fact that even an Icarus card (from the hat edition) has found its place there makes our entire Icarus team very proud!

  Thanks for sharing this...its good to see one of my coins there...cheers!

Thanks for the updates and photos bitbollo!

thank you for your nice words polymerbit

I'm really happy to hear these words, yes Sicily is a beautiful place with nice and welcoming people.
We are happy to host new friends like you. Thank you again for taking part in an Italian event and enriching it with your experience.
I hope you had beautiful days in Sicily.

A lot of curiosity has arisen around this initiative in online communities and social networks.
This event, unfortunately unique in the Italian panorama, allowed me to come into contact with dozens of collectors.
I personally consider those aspects an important success and a fundamental positive element to think in a second edition.

I should receive the videos/audio of the meetings soon. Meanwhile enjoy photos. (for privacy reasons I decided to limit those in which the audience is visible)

Many thanks the to artists, the collectors, and all those who allow to realize this initiative.
Ad Maiora!

It's good to know that this event wasn't left as the only one in the series, and you are looking forward to organising a larger, funkier, better event elsewhere.
Hopefully, my card is safely back in your hands, and sooner or later, you'll be able to deliver it to me!

Ciao Fillippone!
Photos and videos are being "processed" by the videomakers who were present in the room and will be provided shortly...

Even though I wasn't present in the gallery (unfortunately ) I can tell you that we had the opportunity to collect a lot of feedback, a lot of data, meet very interesting people (even online) and definitely evaluate a "larger" version to be reproduced directly in another Italian city... I'll leave you to guess...


Art is one of the best ways to bring people closer to this world and to our hobby. As a registered pharmacist I cannot give "orange pills" unless prescribed by a medical doctor.... DURA LEX SED LEX
I'm joking, as always, see you soon

Hello guys, the Exhibition has now closed.
I am sure it was a success, and I do hope you guys are already considering the next edition.
While we wait for the official photographs' work, have some of you snapped a few pictures to share with us?

Keep up the excellent work, and hopefully, see you next year!

congratulations for this performance, really well done and organised
It certainly would have been nice to come, but I couldn't escape the daily routine
I also hope for streaming and videos to be able to see it, an excellent, super praiseworthy initiative

congratulations again

Livestream is a nice to have, but I also want to see the exposed material.
Just remember there is a card with my wrongly spelled name exposed.
And you see it before me!

Time flies, and in a few days this exhibition will begin (Opening at 6 pm)


I confirm that there will not be a live streaming, but photo/video material will be created to be shared at a later time (Many thanks to all contributors!).

Anyone who needs logistical support or more information about the initiative can contact me privately.

27 Sep 2024 6 pm - 7.30 pm = Inauguration / Opening

28 Sep 2024 9.30 am - 12.30 pm // 4.30 pm - 7.30 pm = Meetings and others
Live Presentation made by Quantum Collapses Art

29 Sep 2024 9.30 am - 12.30 pm // 4.30 pm - 7.30 pm = Meetings and Close Out
Live Presentation made by Artikando

Very nice to hear.
I do confirm: I have been to Sicily once, and I found it very interesting and diverse as per touristic offerings.
The end of September is a fantastic period of the year to visit as a bonus. It's still warm, and there are fewer tourists around.

I can now confirm at least one of our American stakeholders should be joining us for the first two days of the Gallery.

If you're on the fence about going, I strongly recommend it. Sicily is a gem.

Ciao fillippone, nice I was not aware about Liudmilla's art! Pretty interesting!
Unfortunately I have no clue on how to reach both of them since i don't have any kind of social network
Exposing other artists or many items it's pretty hard if not impossible since these should be listed and insured etc etc...
However, I am confident that you can join the same in the venue that's much pretty better place then Rho Fiera (they told me but I will verify by presence )


Thank you MoparMiningLLC, you are pretty welcome, it would be great if you can join us in presence but of course we understand isn't so easy due logistic and so on... Yes I am trying to find a good solution for share photo / video and son on... lets see

awesome! would love to go but not sure I can swing a trip at this time. looking forward to seeing the pictures and hearing the stories of those that do go!

Durante una delle ultime puntate del BIP show ho sentito Rikki che parlava di arte e Bitcoin.
Magari potete contattarlo per dare un pò di rilevanza all'evento.

Inoltre so che Liudmila Radchenko è un'artista che ha dipinto a soggetto Bitcoin.
Ecco, magari se la convincete ad esporre li magari posso decidere di presentarmi.

I do not speak Italian but I am extremely excited to visit this amazing exhibition.

During this meeting the works of the following artists will be exhibited:

- Artikando
- Polymerbit
- CypherHodl
- GBG
- mx12levins
- 1Dq
- Emanuele Dascanio
- Vizique
- Cryptograffiti
- Flo Montoya
...

My idea Is to have some recorded interviews/ meetings available for streaming during the event and after (lets create some material/reference for long terms)...
Generally in each day of this event there is a "live session" (1-2 hours) with speakers available "physically".

Regarding internet connection, we will have at least a couple of solutions available... i don't See any particular issue here, of course live interaction would be always the best and my target for the meeting.

For what I know, Sicily Is much better then Italy 🤯 so a visit to meeting/region would be a must!

If any forum user need support for traveling/logistics/booking/everything else please reach me with a private message here on forum...

I'll be taking equipment with me to stream it. But this will ultimately depend of the internet quality on site.

would love to come.
Italy is a country with such a culture...
I love the food, the architecture, everything.

beautiful all-Italian initiative.  Thank you for the work you did to organize it
 I wanted to ask you, unfortunately not everyone can come due to other commitments already made (too short notice)
 Are you planning on recording it or streaming it online?  Thank you

Love this!  I'm third generation Italian & growing up Italian is all I know, ethnic wise (despite being a mut).  I've always hoped to see more Italians in this space, but I think the only consistent collector from ITA has been you Bitbollo, if I'm not mistaken.   Would be great if this event helped bring a few over to this part of bitcointalk.   

(btw Bitbollo been meaning to reach out to you about trying to contact my relatives over your way. If you have any sort of recommendations/websites that you know of that help connect Italians to their US relatives..please let me know.  Not sure if such a thing exists but hope so!  Been a very difficult search so far).

As an exchange student in 1987, I took a Eurail pass and ended up going to Lipari.  3 of us stayed at a Castle/Youth hostel for $3 day.  It was such an amazing experience!

great opportunity for sicily, for italy for collectors and artists!

i cross post here https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=322839.0 (we talk about it @bitbollo)

I wanted to say that I really appreciate the effort you are making in this regard, an event like this is very important, we hope to bring some important and famous guests to the square

anyways thank you for your effort

I'm very much looking forward to this.

Catania has a special place in my heart.

I'll report back on the reactions of the people who visited the gallery.

It's great that people from all socio-economic backgrounds have a chance to interact with this art.

Bitcoin is freedom!



P.S. If you're considering going, Sicily is a beautiful place!

Very nice initiative, Bitbollo!

It will be very difficult for me to be there, even if I would love to attend.
Due to previous commitments, I could be on a very different part of the globe on that period.
But never say never!

This is great and very much needed.

I'll be proud to participate with my artworks!

Good luck with organizing this, bitbollo,

1Dq

 Sounds interesting....would love to be there but alas family work does not allow me to. Looking forward to seeing photos!

I am using the same topic to promote and organize the next exhibition for Q4 2025 in Milano! - please check end of topic with more details

Dear fellow collectors,
you are all invited to participate in the "bitcoin collectibles" themed exhibition that which will be held in Catania (Italy) from 27 to 29 September

Closest Airport = CTA Fontanarossa
How to arrive? From CTA Fontanarossa take "Radio Taxi" 00390958833 // Take Alibus and check local line with https://moovitapp.com/ or google maps.

In addition to displaying a whole series of collectibles, I am planning some meetings with creators/artists and some OG/Legendary of bitcoin world.


Last but not least, the new trio of banknotes produced by me / Polymerbit / Artikando will be presented.
A project started in 2022 which comes to an end....

During those days the artists will be physically present... an excellent opportunity to meet them live... and many many other surprises

---

This initiative arise from the simple need to give more and more "physicality" to bitcoin and the objects behind this technology.
There are hundreds of collectors in a city like this...probably many of them would be fascinated by these objects, by their simplicity, by their historical importance, by their art.
The idea of ​​the exhibition is a good idea to also get in touch with them and try to broaden curiosity about this sector.

Forgive the lack of further details. I will provide a final agenda in upcoming weeks.
