Giampaolo Morelli and Biagio Izzo among the Hollywood stars on the Blue Island

(EN) Capri celebrates Italian comedy and one of the artistic partnerships most loved by audiences. Giampaolo Morelli and Biagio Izzo will be the protagonists of a special evening on the Blue Island, where they will receive an award that consecrates them as true princes of comedy, capable of blending the great Neapolitan tradition with contemporary irony and a broad popular appeal.
The two actors will be honored on Tuesday, December 30, in a strongly international setting that will once again turn Capri into a crossroads between Italian cinema and major global stars. Alongside Morelli and Izzo, numerous Hollywood personalities will be present and awarded, including Canadian actor Nolan G. Funk, American actress and producer Meadow Williams, actor Kristo Andrew, already an Emmy Award winner, and British actors Gary Stretch and Alanah Bloor, together with many other international guests.
The evening is part of the program of the 30th edition of Capri Hollywood, chaired by actor Vince Riotta, an event promoted with the support of the Italian Ministry of Culture and the Campania Region, and with the participation of Intesa Sanpaolo and Givova, confirming strong institutional and business backing for cinema and the audiovisual sector.
During the festival, many awards already assigned will also be celebrated. Monica Guerritore received the Capri Lina Wertmüller Award for her directorial debut with the film Anna, while Daniele Barbiero was given the Breakout Director of the Year Award for the film Squali. The Breakout Actor of the Year Award went to Francesco Del Gaudio for his performance in the TV film dedicated to Peppino di Capri, Champagne. There was also great emotion for the very young Alessandro Gervasi, a young musician from Trapani, who received the Capri Child Prodigy of the Year Award, as a symbol of precocious and extraordinary talent.
It was also an evening of strong applause for Alessandro Preziosi, who received a double recognition: the Capri Actor of the Year Award and the Special “Antonello Fassari” Award, presented by Nuovo IMAIE. Completing the lineup of honorees is actress Liliana Mele, named Rising Star of the Year.
