Rudolf Stingel and Remo Salvadori win the 2018 and 2019 President of the Republic Award

President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella today, Tuesday, January 25, 2022, awarded the President of the Republic Prizes for the years 2018 and 2019 from the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca, and the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. The two winners from the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca are Rudolf Stingel (Merano, 1956) for the 2018 Painting Class and Remo Salvadori (Cerreto Guidi, 1947) for the 2019 Sculpture Class.

Stingel lives between Merano and New York, has participated in two Venice Biennale (1999 and 2003) and many national and international exhibitions. Salvadori lives and works in Milan, has exhibited in major Italian and European museums and participated in major international exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale (1982, 1986, 1993) and Documenta in Kassel (1982, 1992). In the Golden Roll of the Prize succeed great artists such as Mario Sironi (winner in 1954), Gino Severini (1964), Alberto Viani (1969), Carlo Scarpa (1970), Corrado Cagli (1973), Piero Dorazio (1985), Gianfranco Ferroni (1991) and many others. In 2017 the prize had been won by architect Renato Rizzi, in 2016 by sculptor Giovanni Anselmo, and in 2015 by painter Luigi Ontani. By tradition, the prize is awarded in alternate years to a painter, a sculptor, and an architect in this exact succession, which has never been interrupted since 1950. The awardee for 2020 will therefore be an architect.

The President of the Republic Award is a National Prize for the Arts created in 1950 under Luigi Einaudi as a “token of appreciation for creative activity” to artists and is proposed by a judging committee of National Academicians of St. Luke’s.

Paolo Icaro, President of the Academy commented on the two awards to Stingel and Salvadori: “I am delighted with these two new honors that confirm the central role of the Academy in signaling excellence in the visual arts. We will soon organize, as soon as the situation makes it possible, a ceremony to celebrate and celebrate the two artists.”
