\nAmong the many honors she has received are the \u201cMeritorious Service to Culture and Art for Activities Promoting the Preservation of Cultural Heritage\u201d (1995); previously named Commander of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (2001), in 2011 she was awarded the title of Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. Inducted into the Golden Register of Citizens of the City of Perugia in 2006, she received the prestigious Marisa Bellisario Award in 2010 for promoting \u201cMade in Italy.\u201d
