Awards ceremony on 19 July at 21.00
On saturday 19 July we walked through the rooms of the collection in semi-darkness and discovered a selection of the versions of this edition, projected next to the original paintings. The artist Maya Pixelskaya was in charge of announcing the winning works.
To close the ceremony, we had the concert of Verde Prato (with her bare yet striking neo-folk, Verde Prato is a unique talent emerging from a wave of singer-songwriters who express their identity through the power of their voice).
