Antonio and his Valentino Award  

Antonio camps it up dressed in formal attire and his worn but no doubt comfortable boots for the occasion of his winning the Valentino Award, given by the Italian government but presented in Berlin, Germany shortly after Stella's birth.

According to the media, the award was given to Antonio for his "charm and charisma", and to Pedro Almodóvar for his contributions to the Hispanic culture. The award was created in 1972 and has been presented to people like Liz Taylor, Ingrid Bergman or Sofia Loren.
