Premio Simpatia
The Premio Simpatia (Sympathy Prize) is an annual Italian prize. It has granted since 1971 to those who have distinguished themselves in the social sector, regardless of their sectors of activity.
The awards ceremony takes place at the Capitoline Palace of Rome, which is the reason why the award is also known as Oscar Capitolino.
Among the most renowned winners is the President of the Italian Republic, Sandro Pertini, in 1985.
History
[edit | edit source]The prize was designed by Domenico Pertica, but finds its historical origins in Aldo Palazzeschi and Vittorio De Sica. The ceremony is organized by the Comitato Romano Incremento Attività Cittadine (literally: Roman Committee of complementary urban activities). The Oscar Capitolino is symbolized by a bronze rose created by the sculptor Assen Peikov.
In 2001, an Oscar of the Capitol was awarded to the memory of Domenico Pertica, its founder.
