MEDITERRANEAN AWARD "SILVER DOLPHIN" A great Spanish writer, Manuel Vázquez Montalbán told the story of today’s society with irony and acumen through his main character: Pepe Carvalho.

For this reason the Fondazione Mediterraneo attributed to the memory of Manuel Vázquez Montalbán the Mediterranean Award “Delfino d’Argento” 2004‑2005. Awarding Ceremony |
