There were two main sources of inspiration behind "Pepesco Totti". The first was my personal connection to the legendary footballer Francesco Totti, who was not only an idol of my childhood but also a symbol of loyal and commitment to his hometown of Rome. Totti refused offers from top-tier EU clubs throughout his career, SACRIFICING (and therefore, making sacred) his personal achievements, to become a popular legend.

The second source of inspiration was the culture of Pepe. Few know that my IRL nickname has always been "pepe" - by Giuseppe. I've always been fascinated by the internet culture and it's phenomena, and pepe may be it's biggest expression. Pepe is for the people, like Totti. We are all pepe.

Pepesco Totti is my first 1/1 minted, representing my personal journey. A remix between two places: my roots - Rome, and the place where I've chosen to commit in the years to come - the digital communities of the decentralized online world.
