In the distinguished library of the Tennis & Racquet Club in Manhattan, the Foundation for Italian Art and Culture (FIAC), a New York-based nonprofit promoting Italian culture in the United States for over two decades, celebrated the 2024 FIAC Excellency Award recipients. Over a seated dinner, generously supported by the Alexander Bodini Charitable Foundation, FIAC Chairman and Ambassador Daniele Bodini and FIAC President Alain Elkann presented the awards to Francesca Cappelletti, Director of the Borghese Gallery, and Cameron Kitchin, Director of the Cincinnati Art Museum.

Also present was the Consul General of Italy in New York Fabrizio Di Michele, who praised FIAC’s work. “Considering the current historical and political moment and the uncertain future that awaits us, the Foundation’s work is fundamental in preserving Italian culture on this side of the Atlantic.”
