Held this morning at Palazzo Marino, headquarters of the Milan City Council, the ceremony for the 2020 Ambrogino d’oro, an award given each year to those who have brought prestige to the city.
In addition to doctors and nurses engaged on the front lines against the pandemic, among the honorees were also the couple Chiara Ferragni and Fedez, who received the award for raising funds for intensive care at Milan’s San Raffaele Hospital at the height of the health emergency.
“During the first phase of the health emergency, they put notoriety at the service of the fight against Covid-19 to try to soothe the wounds of their city. With a humorous account of life as a quarantined Milanese family, they raised awareness of the importance of observing rules to contain the infection. With altruism combined with practical sense, they launched a fundraiser to expand the intensive care unit at San Raffaele Hospital in record time. Adding to this extraordinary achievement is their commitment as volunteers in the ’Milan Helps’ initiative. By preparing groceries and pedaling around the city to deliver food to families in need, they showed how important it is, even with simple gestures, to extend a hand to the most fragile in the sign of an authentic Ambrosian spirit”: this is the motivation for the award.
“We are very honored and hope to do more and more for the city of Milan and for Italy in general,” the couple said.
