Promoted by the renowned curators of the award, Dr. Salvatore Russo and Dr. Francesco Saverio Russo, the Effetto Arte Foundation International Prize is one of the most prestigious honors bestowed upon artists who have demonstrated exceptional artistic merit.

Known as the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is one of the most fascinating and historically rich cities in the world—associated with artists, poets, and philosophers including Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raphael, Machiavelli, Dante, and Boccaccio. A UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the heart of Tuscany, Florence is renowned for its extraordinary artistic, architectural, and cultural heritage. Florence is also the birthplace of Dante Alighieri, the father of the Italian language. Its streets and squares, such as Piazza della Signoria, tell stories of centuries filled with art and power.

Every true artist dreams of creating their own unique stamp expressed through art—reflecting their journey through life, admired and critically appraised, but also enjoyed by future generations. This is the raison d'être of the curators in promoting the International Prize – Artist in the History of Art, representing a hallmark of global excellence for the work of painters, sculptors, photographers, digital artists, mosaicists, and illustrators alike through the expression of their artistic vision.
