More than bringing Italian cinema abroad, N.I.C.E. Festival supports the city of Florence, Tuscany, its territory and culture from 30 years. N.I.C.E. shows and gives visibility, often as previews, to film produced and shot in Tuscany. N.I.C.E. City of Florence Award – “Donatella Carmi Barlozzi” represents each year the final celebration of the international experience of N.I.C.E. Festival.

The event brings back to Florence the films most appreciated by the North-American public during N.I.C.E. Festival USA of the same year. The cerimony, which takes place since 2016 at Cinema La Compagnia in Florence, gives an official award to the winning directors and movies.
