A particularly moving moment was the presentation by Minister Abodi of the Paladino d’Oro Special Award to Combattente, the documentary honouring the memory of Raf Vallone. The award was accepted by his eldest daughter, Eleonora Vallone. It was also announced that actor Raoul Bova will receive a Paladino d’Oro in Palermo in December.

“The presentation reflected the history, international vision and human warmth of Paladino d’Oro. The organisers welcomed the participating productions not simply as competitors, but as members of a worldwide community united through sport and cinema.”
