 The prestigious Premio Paolo Soprani Award has been created in 2010, by the Comune di Castelfidardo, the International Accordion Museum of Castelfidardo and Scandalli Accordions. The idea was to create a prestigious award in the name of the founder of the accordion industry of Castelfidardo and to make the award every year to a person who achieved something at very high level for the image and diffusion of Italian accordion. The award is usually presented during the “Musei in Musica” event. The Mayor of Castelfidardo Mirco Soprani, the President of Scandalli Accordions Mirco Patarini and the President of the International Accordion Museum Vincenzo Canali announced the 2015 Paolo Soprani Award to Andrea Bocelli (picture above) at the Opening Concert of the Castelfidardo International Competitions and Festival, for having raised the image of the accordion all over the world, thanks to his extraordinary musical activity. Due to previous commitments, Andrea Bocelli could not attend this Opening Concert but a video of the presentation to him was shown to the audience. Video above. Previous winners of the prestigious Premio Paolo Soprani Award are: 2010 to Gian Mario Spacca, President of Marche Region; 2011 to Vincenzo Canali, President of the Accordion Museum Castelfidardo; 2012 to Harley Jones, Founder of Accordions Worldwide internet news/culture sites; 2013 to Viacheslav Semionov, composer, concert artist and teacher; 2014 to Raymond Bodell, President of the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA); 2015 to Andrea Bocelli for having raised the accordion image all over the world. The award sponsor is Scandalli Accordions and the Premio "Paolo Soprani" Award statue is the design creation of famous Italian sculptor Franco Campanari and is a real work of art in bronze, coming complete in a specially designed box with a published book about the art of Franco Campanari.
