Lemon Novecento, a pianist who spends his entire life on the Virginian ocean liner. Novecento is a monologue that tells the story of Danny Boodmann T. With the help of some experts, I produced this NFT, which is both a new chapter in The Game and yet another chapter in my story with that of Novecento, which is probably the source code for all my work”. It seemed to me that no one had done that with literature and that also appealed to me a lot, to shake up the cards a bit in my literary production world, which are still very old. So I said to myself: I want to get inside that quadrant and the best way to see what was in there was to do an NFT. There’s something in there that’s probably going to change our lives a lot, like what happened ten years ago with apps, for example. ”There is something happening today, and it is happening in the quadrant formed by these four points: blockchain, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, DAO.

This is how the author, Alessandro Baricco, described this adventure: Ĭontributing to the creation of the work on the blockchain are Serena Tabacchi, who took care of the technical supervision and is curator, director and co-founder of the MoCDA Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Digitale), Bruno Pitzalis, an expert in crypto art and communication, and Massimo Franceschet, an expert in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. It is the first literary work by an Italian author in NFT format.
