Crotone Goes Viral: The Eco-Mural Reaches Sam Bentley’s Millions of Followers
CROTONE – There is an invisible yet powerful thread connecting our seafront on Viale Magna Grecia to the millions of followers of Sam Bentley, the British influencer who has become a global reference point for environmental “Good News.”
The reason? The stunning ecological mural created by Venezuelan artist Oscar Olivares, brought to life by the hardworking hands of the children from Crotone’s Junior City Council.
Who is Sam Bentley and why is Crotone on his radar?
For those unfamiliar with him, Sam Bentley is not your typical influencer; he is a seeker of hope. Across his social media channels, followed by millions, Sam shares only projects that prove the world is changing for the better. His mantra is simple: “Change isn’t just necessary, it’s already here.”
Sam discovered and reshared the Crotone project because it aligns perfectly with his philosophy. This isn’t just about recycling; it’s about creative regeneration. Seeing over 80,000 plastic caps—collected by local families and schools—transformed into a work of art is exactly the kind of success story Bentley loves to tell.
The mural features a young girl (a symbol of humanity) alongside our local biodiversity and heritage: the Caretta Caretta sea turtle and the iconic Column of Capo Colonna.
“This is exactly the type of ‘success story’ that Bentley loves to broadcast to the world.”
