The first phase of the prize (the creation of the nomination) takes place in Rome at the headquarters of the ETI. The artists of backhoe loaders are also received in the Quirinal by the President of the Republic . The second phase will be held in Venice, at the headquarters of the Teatro Stabile del Veneto.
