The American Academy in Rome honors Carlo Petrini and Paolo Sorrentino.

The McKim Medal Gala in Rome honors individuals whose work internationally—most particularly in Italy and in the United States—has contributed significantly to the arts and humanities, and whose life exemplifies creative and intellectual exchange across the arts, scholarship, language, and culture. The Gala supports Italian artists joining the Academy community as fellows.
