CIA Merit Award to Vincenzo Canali (Italy) in Turku - Finlandby Harley Jones |
 |
| CIA Merit Award: Presented by CIA President Raymond Bodell to Vincenzo Canali (born in Castelfidardo, Italy in 1937). Vincenzo Canali has devoted much of his life for the accordion and its historical and cultural development. The International Accordion Museum Castelfidardo and the "Premio Internazionale Citta di Castelfidardo" was founded with the support, influence and assistance of Vincenzo Canali. Since 2007 he has been the President of the International Accordion Museum Castelfidardo and in that position continues to promote the accordion and its strong position in Castelfidardo. For some 20 years, Vincenzo has organised a series of concert tours in collaboration with Italian Embassies and the institution Region Marche to many countries and continents promoting accordion music and exports to Asia, Australasia, North and South America, Scandinavia and the middle East. In 2012, the City of Castelfidardo conferred on Vincenzo Canali the important "Sigillo di Castelfidardo" award for a citizen of special merit and the same year, the President of Italy conferred the honor of "Cavaliere dell'Ordine al merito della Repubblica Italiana". |
