While global blockchain hubs like Dubai dominate headlines, a quieter yet significant movement is emerging in an unexpected region—Central Italy. Traditionally not recognized as a major tech hub, the area is quickly becoming a center for Web3 innovation and enthusiasm. Gate.MT CEO Giovanni Cunti experienced this growing momentum firsthand at the Pescara Blockchain Beach event, where local entrepreneurs and major Web3 players gathered to explore the latest trends in decentralized technology.
Hosted by Officina DeFi from October 4-5 in Pescara, Italy, the event attracted a diverse range of speakers and panellists from leading blockchain projects, including BASE, Cardano, IOTA, Algorand, and more.
