On July 21, Kevin Spacey will be honoured with Italy’s Nations Award for Lifetime Achievement at a special gala in the historic southern Sicilian town of Taormina. Spacey is also set to give an onstage performance at Taormina’s historic Greek Theatre.

“Kevin Spacey is a timeless monument in film and theatre history, who unquestionably deserves the chance to get his career back,” said award organisers Michel Curatolo and Marco Fallanca.
