Young Italian digital artists are using Ethereum to trade their creations online — a sign that NFTs are becoming increasingly mainstream in the country. The first cryptocurrency art auction in Italy was held at Cambi Auction House in July 2021.
Italian artists are selling their works in digital format, or NFTs, in a collection titled Dystopian Visions, which was curated by the director and co-founder of the Museum of Contemporary Digital Art (MoCDA).
This auction shows that NFTs will be staying in Italy for quite a while. Contemporary artists are aware that selling NFTs of their daring and unique artworks can make them come to life and help them connect with the viewer better. Furthermore, these NFTs created a new way for these artists to make money.
