Beatrice Award
The gala of music and solidarity at the Teatro Centrale in San Bonifacio
About Beatrice Award
An evening that combines music and solidarity
The Beatrice Award is one of the most cherished events in the cultural calendar of San Bonifacio, in the province of Verona. Organized by the association Il Sorriso di Beatrice ODV with the artistic direction of the Davoli family, the award was created to remember Beatrice and transform her memory into a project of concrete help: all proceeds from the evenings support the psychological support service for cancer patients at the Fracastoro Hospital in San Bonifacio.
Two evenings, two souls
The event is divided into two distinct appointments, hosted at the Teatro Centrale in San Bonifacio. The first evening is dedicated to the Beatrice Award for Young Artists, a showcase for dozens of emerging artists from all over Italy and Europe, judged by a jury of music industry professionals and radio personalities. The second evening is the Grand Gala, the highlight where major Italian music stars take the stage, hosted by well-known TV and radio personalities.
An admission that is doubly valuable
Access to the evenings is by free donation: participants enjoy a high-level show and, at the same time, contribute to a solidarity project for the local community. This is the essence of the Beatrice Award, which manages to attract a large and loyal audience every year to the heart of eastern Veneto.
Beatrice Award — edition 2026
The 13th edition of the Beatrice Award took place on the weekend of April 25 and 26, 2026, at the Teatro Centrale in San Bonifacio, confirming the two-evening format.
