The Prize

Take home the brand-new original Pirelli calendar 2019. Not on general sale, the Pirelli calendar is given as an annual gift to the tire company's most important clients and VIPs.

For the Pirelli Calendar 2019, the celebrated photographer Albert Watson has created a series of vignettes centring on the dreams and aspirations of four successful and talented women.

Watson said the basic idea behind the whole project was that of telling a story in four ‘little movies’. Each ‘little movie’, starring well-known models from film, fashion and dance, shows the characters at significant crossroads in their lives.

The 2019 Pirelli Calendar features actress Julia Garner as “the botanical photographer”, Astrid Eika as the “model”, actress and model Laetitia Casta as “the painter”, professional dancer Sergei Polunin as the “painter’s partner”, ballet star Misty Copeland as “the dancer”, professional dancer Calvin Royal III as the “dancer’s partner”, model Gigi Hadid as “the wealthy socialite” and Alexander Wang as the “confidant”.

The Cause

Nobel a Mogol (NaM), or Nobel to Mogol, is a nonprofit organization founded by three friends, Nanco Paoletti and journalists Milo Goj and Nestar Tosini. For years they have interpreted and studied the lyrics of the late, famous Italian singer Lucio Battisti, whose songs were written by Giulio Rapetti Mogol. Mogol has also written songs for many other Italian singers that have become great successes over the past 50 years: from Bobby Solo to Little Tony, Riccardo Cocciante and Adriano Celentano.

As they studied Mogol's songs, the three literati reached the conclusion that many of his texts were in all regards authentic poetry. If poetry means turning feelings, moods and states of being into words, then Mogol is certainly a great poet. Such verses as, "When sadness falls upon the depth of your heart, like the falling snow it make not a sound," leave nothing to be desired. They are right on par with even the most well-known and appreciated "traditional" poetry. He has written so many of such verses that a publication of them should be made.

Mogol is therefore a great poet whose works match up to those of other Nobel prize authors. The Nobel to Mogol Association aims precisely at persuading public opinion to create a movement to nominate Giulio Rapetti Mogol for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
