It is known that the ways of the Lord are infinite, but that one could come to understand how to use blockchain and Nft starting from a parish in the center of Bologna this is a surprise.
Yet it is like this: Santa Maria della Carità is the parish of via San Felice, run by Don Davide Baraldi for 7 years, 43 years old, a priest so modern that he wrote his first novel in the form of an ebook, Swatch, but also and above all a priest who is not trivially modern. Of himself he says: “I’m not a technological priest, but I appreciate technology”.

The first NFT in history sold by Sotheby’s: “It is comparable to a Picasso”

Its spring is therefore not simply faith, but that even stronger faith which is animated by great curiosity. And the same dowry is recognized as a reminder by those, boys and young people, but not only, attend Samac for religious functions and also for many other activities: Samac is the acronym that presents Santa Maria della Carità in a less formal way and also in the most convenient way to have the social profiles of the parish found on Facebook, Intagram and YouTube. The activities are a skilful mix of the past, for example the Vai, Voluntary Assistance for the Sick, and modern, the Samac Trekking reveals Don Davide’s passion for walking.
And precisely from this being suspended between the past and today (Don Davide tells the faithful that “we must live in the present”) was the starting point for the exploration of a future that for many continues to be mysterious. This is the path: in the Samac parish, which is not indicated in the tourist guides, at the most it happens to discover it because it is close to a place that has won a Bolognese stage of Four restaurants, the tv program of Alesandro Borghese, several works of art are kept. The oldest is a Madonna with child by Sabatini dating back to 1550. Hence the idea of taking a census of a heritage consisting mainly of paintings for collect the artistic heritage of the parish and project it into the future. The how is the primacy of Don Davide who admits, with ostentatious satisfaction, that he was listened to carefully by his parishioners when he began to explain what NFT are.
I non fungible token they are digital objects validated as unique, they are the whole of the image and its digital identification authenticated as unique. In his own words, “it may still seem like a mysterious practice”, but Don Davide knew he had an advantage: not only the images of the paintings, but also many skills in the enlarged Samac team, and one can easily use a sports language being this is another passion of the tech priest. Cristina Gozzi and Chiara Marzaduri signed digital elaborations like the ones you see on this page and if you have the doubt that it is just a few exercises it is easy to deny this impression: there is also a paper calendar of all the Nft made in Samac and it costs 7 euros.

But the real purchases are made by the parishioners, and not just those of Samac online on the Zilliqa platform, a conscious choice, less known than others but also less expensive, as Don Davide explained, finding even 5 different collections. And others will find later, why even the Nft of the Lord can be infinite, and they are certainly a good resource for parishes who know how to use them.
