Giordano Bruno Guerri has been awarded the 2023 Pannunzio Prize
A free and irreverent intellectual, who in the course of his prestigious activity as a historian, biographer, authoritative editorialist and director of important magazines has never subservient to any ideology; a biographer who has been able to historically relocate controversial figures, such as Curzio Malaparte, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Giuseppe Bottai, Italo Balbo, the excommunicated and persecuted priest Ernesto Buonaiuti, and, above all, Gabriele D'Annunzio, definitively freeing the Poet from the label of "Poet of the Twenty Years" that had been attributed to him by historians and the vulgate; President of the Vittoriale degli Italiani, the sumptuous D'Annunzio residence that he saved from...

Still president and with a museum/mausoleum/circus maximus that receives no public funding, and with Franceschini, a left-wing minister who renames...
