Sophia Loren receives BOOKS for PEACE 2024 prize

 


The BOOKS for PEACE 2024 Prize has been awarded to Sophia Loren, one of the greatest icons of Italian cinema, who represented the beauty, strength and elegance of our country in the world. The prestigious award was presented to Edoardo Ponti, director and producer of the film The Human Voice, to Ms Sophia Loren for the memorable and extraordinary performance in a MasiFILM production. The special ceremony  took place in Paris in a magical place where not dreaming is impossible , the private apartment of Napoleon Bonaparte at the SHANGRI-LA hotel. 

The prize, born to be a light for those who are not seen and a voice for those who are not heard, is a symbol of hope and solidarity, illuminating  those who do not shine in the spotlight. Every year, BOOKS for PEACE chooses to reward those figures who, with their talent and commitment, contribute to the construction of a more just and peaceful world. This year, with the presentation of the awards to Sophia Loren and Edoardo Ponti, the prize wanted to underline the importance of bringing art and culture where there is most need.


“We are immensely grateful to Sophia Loren, Edoardo Ponti and MasiFilm for accepting this recognition and for their continued commitment to represent the best of Italian culture in the world,” said Antonio Imeneo, creator and founder of the award. ” The greatness and disarming humility of Mrs Loren and her son Edoardo is also manifested in their willingness to work for the ‘little ones of the world’, bringing a message of peace, hope, beauty and immense humanity.”

The BOOKS for PEACE Prize is conceived to celebrate Human Rights through art and culture as tools of change and peace. With the support of extraordinary figures such as Loren and Ponti, Katia Ricciarelli, the Nobel Peace Prize Dr. Denis Mukwege, magical historical places like the Archaeological Park of Pompeii and the Reggia di Caserta the award stands out as an important initiative in favor of global brotherhood, showing that true greatness can be found in the little things.


Antonio Imeneo, the founders and the commission of the prize would also like to thank all those who contribute to make this mission possible and enriched every year with new significant gestures of generosity and commitment. “Special Christmas greetings goto the Nobildonna Mrs Sophia Loren, who continues to enchant generations of spectators, and to Edoardo Ponti, whose film The human voice continues to show and tell the depth of the human condition, making us all reflect on the beauty and importance of communication.”

In conclusion, this award reminds us that art and culture are essential for building bridges between people in an increasingly divided world, and that every gesture of solidarity has an impact that goes beyond words.

It is now of great importance to comprehend the essential nature of the War from a macro-historical perspective on modern and contemporary international relations. Such an approach will likely enable going beyond conventional current event commentary, policy analysis, and regular IR/comparative analysis. This study is particularly interested in the Jewish question as a va...
