And the recognition, in recent editions conferred to Mariano Rigillo, Antonio Calenda and Lino Patruno, also this year sponsored by the largest Italian collecting that manages the rights of artists, the Nuovo IMAIE (Mutualistic Institute for the protection of artists, interpreters and performers) , will be delivered to the immense Pamela Villoresi, interpreter from Prato, with a Tuscan father and German mother who, during her career, which this year reaches the enviable milestone of fifty springs, has acted in 5 languages.
