Tucci, a six-time Emmy Award winner, two-time Golden Globe winner, Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and Tony Award nominee, was celebrated for his extensive contributions to the entertainment industry for over four decades. His CNN culinary travel series, “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy,” earned two Primetime Emmy Awards and showcased his deep connection to his Italian heritage, particularly to his family’s roots in Marzi, Calabria.

Tucci is also a New York Times Best bestselling author of multiple books, including “The Tucci Cookbook, What I Ate in One Year,” and the memoir “Taste: My Life Through Food.” He recently starred in the Golden Globe-winning film “Conclave,” and the AGBO produced Amazon television series “Citadel,” which recently wrapped production on its second season directed by Joe Russo. He also stars in the upcoming Netflix film “The Electric State,” directed by the Russo Brothers which also stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt.

“We are thrilled to honor Stanley Tucci, whose extraordinary career reflects a deep commitment to the celebration of Italian culture and artistry,” said Anthony and Joe Russo. “His work has inspired audiences worldwide and elevated Italian American heritage on a global stage. This award is a testament to his remarkable contributions and enduring legacy.”
