Wunderkammer – Passions, the second edition of Neri Pozza’s literary festival, will be held from September 26 to 28, 2025.  Following the success of its first edition, the festival returns to the elegant setting of Verona’s Teatro Nuovo. It will feature talks and meetings with prominent Italian and international authors.

Passion, professionalism, and community are the core values of Vicenzi Group’s new project. The company has chosen the opening night of Wunderkammer to assign for the first time the award dedicated to the 120^th anniversary of its Founder. The “Matilde Vicenzi Award – Simply Extraordinary Women” recognizes four women from Verona who have excelled in key fields for the growth and development of the region: in art, culture, science and medicine, entrepreneurship, and social commitment.  This is not just an award; it is a true work of art, crafted by a Verona-based artist.

The “Matilde Vicenzi Award for Culture” will be given out on September 26, the opening day of the Neri Pozza Festival.

“The Vicenzi Group is extremely proud to celebrate its 120 years of tradition and entrepreneurial vision”, says Giuliana Vicenzi, President of Vicenzi Group. “We wish to share our family’s history with the city of Verona by creating an award dedicated to contemporary women — the ‘modern Matildes’ — who, with courage, competence, and dedication, significantly contribute to the growth of the community. This award stems from a strong set of values rooted in the family and the business and it has evolved into a broad and structured cultural project whose goal is to engage a variety of sectors — from science to business, and culture — and strengthen the bond between the Vicenzi Group and the local community. The Matilde Vicenzi Award focuses on extraordinary women in their everyday lives; those who, through their professional and personal journeys, have created value, supported the social fabric, and helped build virtuous networks”.
