In recognition of this commitment, the Florence Biennale has been included in the program "Dialogue between civilizations" by the United Nations in 2001, and has obtained the patronage of the Italian National Commission for UNESCO in 2017.
Each exhibitor will have a dedicated page in the Official Catalogue of the XIVth Florence Biennale (published by Editoriale Giorgio Mondadori) and will compete for the "Lorenzo il Magnifico" International Award (for Art) and/or for the “Leonardo da Vinci Award (for Design), conferred by an International Jury, as well as for other Special Awards.
