The "Golden Heart Award" is presented for 2022

The Golden Heart Award is back this year, after the first edition of 2021. The Valter Baldaccini Foundation would like to give this symbolic recognition to those who, during the year, have stood by it with particular affection, commitment and originality.

For this edition we are very happy, honored and even a little excited to announce that the 2022 Golden Heart Award has been assigned to:

  • Alessandro Fuso who organized a brilliant and witty lottery during the UMBRACral clay pigeon shooting competition to raise funds for the Foundation's projects. He did this with a smile and sympathy that distinguishes him.
  • Angelo Mattonelli who conceived, designed and promoted two editions of the beautiful event "A Goal for Valter", helping us to spread the message and values of Valter Baldaccini among many local kids.
  • Luis Silvestri who promoted, together with the Civil Protection Volunteers Group of Foligno, an extraordinary collection of necessities for the Ukrainian people, a few weeks after the start of the war.

Congratulations to all of you and thank you for being beside us on this journey.
