Wanna Marchi and daughter receive controversial award at Rome's Campidoglio
Wanna Marchi and her daughter, Stefania Nobile, have sparked controversy after receiving the 'Premio Internazionale della Cultura' during a ceremony held in the Sala della Protomoteca at the Campidoglio in Rome.
While the award was a private initiative organized by publisher Alessandro Gian Maria Ferri and not an official honor from Roma Capitale, the use of such a prestigious institutional venue has drawn sharp criticism. Senator Susanna Donatella Campione expressed indignation over the event, questioning how such a setting could host the recognition of individuals with significant criminal histories.
Marchi and Nobile were previously convicted of criminal association for fraud, with the Court of Cassation confirming their sentences in 2009. Nobile was recognized for her book 'Vendere… cara la pelle', while Marchi received an award for her cookbook. Journalist Jimmy Ghione also criticized the ceremony, reminding the public of the victims who suffered due to the duo's past fraudulent activities.
