“GRADARA LUDENS” 2024 AWARD
TO DARIO DE TOFFOLI
Saturday 21 September 2024 – 8:30 p.m.
Courtyard of Gradara Castle
On the evening of Saturday 21 September, in the beautiful setting of the Gradara castle courtyard, the event’s Scientific Committee will award, as it does every year, the Gradara Ludens Prize to four personalities who have distinguished themselves in the gaming sector.
This is a coveted recognition, which over time has reached and awarded important figures in the world of games and Italian culture, including Alex Randolph, Michele Serra, Giampaolo Dossena, Umberto Eco, Stefano Bartezzaghi, Edoardo Sanguineti, Alessandro Bergonzoni, Moni Ovadia, and David Riondino.
In this 2024 edition, the prestigious prize will be awarded to Dario De Toffoli as an author, writer and journalist who has dedicated his life to the game.
Together with him will be awarded Enrico Di Ciolo, great fencer and coach of the National Fencing Team since 1994, Knight of the Italian Republic for sporting merit, and Lucia Biagiotti and Ilaria Santoni, heads of the Engineering of Good Solace, an association that for years has promoted the game as social cohesion and a tool for healthy growth, and finally Arnaldo ‘Bibo’ Cecchini, one of the greatest experts in game simulation, who will receive the new Sublime Award.
According to tradition, it will be the winners who will self-motivate their victory, explaining what (in their opinion) are the reasons why they deserved the coveted award.
