As special as the anniversary it celebrates: the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Carli, who was Minister of the Treasury, Governor of the Bank of Italy and President of Confindustria.
«The Guido Carli Award ceremony will be a celebration of Italian excellence – explains Romana Liuzzo, President of the Guido Carli Foundation – and a hymn to merit, which Carli asked to cultivate and liberate. His testimony, his battle against the snares and snares that prevent young people from emerging, is still alive. We have chosen to celebrate it by bringing to the stage the men and women who in every field, from the economy to art, from cinema to sport and, for the first time, also to music, make Italy great in the world, maintaining solid roots and commitment to our country. Through their successes, we pay tribute to my grandfather’s moral and cultural legacy and to his hope for a future where development and solidarity, growth and attention to the last go hand in hand ».
