History

The prize was established in 1931. In 1938 it became an annual national award and was named "Premio Faenza".[3]: 48  The first recipient of the Premio Faenza was Pietro Melandri, who also won it in the following year.[4]: 284  The award was not made in some years of the Second World War, and recommenced in 1946. In 1963 it became international in scope – although several foreign artists had already been invited to participate in earlier editions – and from 1989 it became a biennial award.[3]: 48 [4]: 284 

Recipients

Among the recipients of the award are the sculptors Angelo Biancini (1946, 1957), Leoncillo Leonardi (1954, 1964) and Carlo Zauli (1953, 1958 and 1962),[5]: 17  and the ceramic artists Sueharu Fukami (1985) and Ken Eastman (1995).[1]
