[Satoshi Nakamoto Statue in Lugano, Switzerland Vandalized Again, Steel Parts Bent and Damaged]
BlockBeats News, April 19: The Satoshi Nakamoto statue in Lugano, Switzerland has been vandalized again, with parts of the steel structure bent and damaged. The Lugano Satoshi Nakamoto Museum commented, 'You can bend steel, but you cannot distort its meaning.'
The Satoshi Nakamoto statue in Lugano was created by Italian artist Valentina Picozzi and unveiled in October 2024 at Parco Ciani Park. It was first vandalized during Swiss National Day celebrations in August last year, when it was removed from its base, smashed into pieces, and thrown into nearby Lake Lugano. Municipal workers retrieved the statue, which was later restored and reinstalled around October 2025, accompanied by a second unveiling ceremony.
