The actress will follow in the footsteps of previous honorees Jessica Lange, Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise, Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman, Richard Gere, Colin Firth, Isabelle Huppert, Gina Lollobrigida, Vittorio Gassman, Nino Manfredi, Alberto Sordi and Monica Vitti.
Stone, who will receive the award on the closing night of the festival, will also participate in an on-stage conversation on her career as part of honor.

It will mark Stone’s first appearance in Taormina which hosted the Italian premiere for Basic Instinct in 1992.
