On Monday, October 19, 2020, a gala evening was held in Bologna at the Royal Hotel Carlton, in which the Lions Club Bologna awarded Andrea Benetti the 49th “Nettuno d’Oro” the prestigious award that was created in 1971. Every year since then, it has been awarded to the Bologna-born, or adopted, artist who has most distinguished himself or herself in a particular field of the arts. Over the years, artists and men of culture, such as Enzo Biagi, Pupi Avati, Lucio Dalla, Carlo Lucarelli, Stefano Accorsi, and, among the best-known painters, Antonio Saliola, Pirro Cuniberti, and Luigi Ontani, have won the emblazoned award.
