The Premio Presidente della Repubblica is an Italian award introduced by the former president and academic Luigi Einaudi.
[1][2] The award was established on 11 October 1948 by Luigi Einaudi with a letter to the president of the Lincei National Academy to continue the tradition of royal awards.
The prize was first introduced to the class of physical, mathematical, and natural sciences and the class of moral, historical, and philological sciences.
[3] In the same year, Einaudi established a national prize for artists and architects awarded by the academies of San Luca and Santa Cecilia.
The prize is given by the President of Italy in charge in an official ceremony.
