From the Designboom website:

Peroni Nastro Azzurro has created these awards to offer you the chance to design pieces for the aperitivo occasion, which are influenced and inspired by the Peroni Nastro Azzurro brand. Aperitivo is an authentic Italian tradition that combines delicious small plate of food with refreshing alcoholic drinks during the early evening hours as a relaxing prelude to dinner. Aperitivo is recognised as a reason for social gathering, and is a stylish and elaborate affair.
The designers of 2 winning entries will win a cash prize of : EURO 5000 each The winning entries and other selected finalists will be shown in a Peroni Nastro Azzurro exhibition in London, which will then be rolled out to the Design Museum’s UK regional partners, and a host of top-end UK style bars. There is also the opportunity for finalist / winning designs to be developed into items for the Alessi catalogue, working together the Alessi design management structure, as well as the potential for the winning designs to be used in iconic Peroni Nastro Azzurro advertising.”For all the info check out the Designboom website for all the details.
