Wine - Wine and Culture Award for "Best journalist of the year." This is the motivation of Durruti: '"His work
shows that talent can maintain a human face, and sometimes even strictly flaming and antagonistic
rampant arrogance of the commonplace, with its ambitions and its banality shared. Thanks to Andrea
Scanzi, narrative, journalism, and indeed the duty of opinion, maintains a value of true freedom and
self-love, but also of individual pleasure, what should be the essence of the information, the desire to
tell the world, perhaps even dream about the closure until further notice, pending a new future April.”
Edmondo Berselli quoted him in some books. In particular in the executor “Liù”.Bit is the moral
biography of a dog (Mondadori, 2009): "Speaking of students, I had named my disciple, at least on a
moral, even Andrea Scanzi, the boy of Arezzo, author of, among other things related to Gaber and
Beppe Grillo, an exciting and witty “Elogio all’invecchiamento”, dedicated to the culture of wine, but it
is too grown and established, and then not just a student, the most of the elect fellow snacks. " He is
from Arezzo, but he lives in Cortona. On April 5, his story came out a e-book, “Happy Birthday”,
Nebraska for Feltrinelli, inspired by the thirty album Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen. For "If Gaber were
