the competition rebounded to become one of the most rigorous and important in the field of music. It is also significant to note that the "Premio Paganini" was one of the founding members of the World Federation for Musical Competitions that began in 1957. Much credit goes to Luigi Cortese, artistic director for an impressive 21 years, who played a fundamental role in bringing international recognition to the event. He was aided by the dedication and efforts of Carlo Marcello Rietmann, Mario Ruminelli, Lazzaro Maria De Bernardis and Renato De Barbieri. In this period, violin competitions around the world saw the dominance of the Russian school and the "Premio Paganini" was no exception: Gyorgy Pauk and Gérard Poulet, winners ex aequo of the competition, the only time in the history of the event in which two participants were granted first prize
