Upon the physical passing of my mother, Rita, it seemed impossible not to have her with us anymore, the soul behind the prestigious Rovere d’Oro award. It is true that the award she bequeathed to us would continue its journey, but we would no longer have her physical presence, we would no longer be able to mention and thank her during the evenings of the Competition. In short, it felt like we had lost her forever. From this wonderful legacy of hers and wanting to maintain her wishes directed towards young talented individuals eager to pursue a career in the musical world, it seemed essential to create an award dedicated to her. Thus, the Rita Romani Arimondo Award was born, registered with the Chamber of Commerce of Imperia. An award included within the Rovere d’Oro Competition. An award aimed at young people aspiring to have a musical future, an award that can help them continue their careers. We wanted to realize her wish directed towards the young, who were always in her thoughts, by giving them the opportunity to be the future of tomorrow’s music.
With this award, I wish to honor the memory of my mother, Rita Romani Arimondo, a woman who dedicated her life to music and the support of emerging talents. I hope that this scholarship can be a small help for you, so that you can achieve your dreams and carry forward the passion for music that we love so much.
With affection and encouragement,
President of Rovere D’oro
