Santa Ragione, awarded as Outstanding Italian Company. The work of the jurors is very difficult, especially towards some categories, such as the important recognition for the Outstanding Italian Company, which this year saw Santa Ragione, chosen for its innovative visual and interactive design, which allowed the company to create an interesting portfolio of games. The team, made up of three people, stood out for its unique approach and for its great capacity for experimentation, always maintaining the tradition and style of Italian design.
Mauro Fanelli, a central figure in the national videogame panorama, is was awarded the Outstanding Individual Contribution award, which celebrates a career full of excellent professional achievements and also of entrepreneurship: from the creation of the first specialized video game website in Italy, to the development and porting of numerous successful indie titles in experience with MixedBag, up to the current promotion of Italian studios and young talents through the incubator at Cinecittà in Rome.

Thalita Malagò, General Manager of IIDEA said: "We are very happy for the companies and people nominated and awarded at the IVGA 2021. This year in particular the competition was of the highest level, and we are grateful to the jury for the delicate work done in identifying the winners. The awarded productions were published in a context of full health emergency and being able to give them international visibility through the award ceremony makes us even more proud. "
The data that emerged from the latest census on Italian game developers showed an extremely young, lively and growing sector in 2020 despite the global pandemic. All this was confirmed by the nominated titles of the IVGA 2021 which showed high artistic components, with original and creative ideas.
