It is with great pride and emotion that we announce that, on 29 February, the author and director Daniele Finzi Pasca will receive the Swiss Society Fellowship Prize 2020 in New York City. This is awarded annually by the Swiss Society of New York to a Swiss citizen or deserving organization for distinguished work “in their pursuit of educational excellence, social awareness, and humanity’s general body of knowledge”. The award will be presented at the annual Swiss Ball, an evening gala that will be attended by a number of Swiss diplomats and around 300 guests with links to the Swiss economic community in the USA. The ball is being held at the historic Cipriani restaurant in Manhattan.
