GIUSEPPE ANTOCI - 2019
"Medal of Honor for Civil Society"
Politic
To Giuseppe Antoci - former president of the Parco dei Nebrodi from 2013 to 13 February 2018 - for having introduced a protocol for the allocation of land rents, which provides for the presentation of the anti-mafia certificate even for those with a value of less than 150,000 euros.
This "Legality Protocol" was first extended to all of Sicily - signed by all the Prefects of the island - and then implemented by the new anti-mafia code on 27 September 2017: it is now applied throughout Italy. Three years ago, on May 18, 2016, Antoci was the victim of a Mafia attack, from which he emerged unscathed thanks to the armored car and the intervention of the escort.
Defined by the writer Andrea Camilleri as "A Hero of our times", Giuseppe Antoci has proven to be a brave person who, doing his duty, fights the mafia and lawlessness.
For this he is awarded this prize.

PASQUALE ANGELOSANTO - 2019
"Medal of Honor Institutions"
Brigadier General and Commander of the Carabinieri Special Operations Regiment (ROS)
To Pasquale Angelosanto, for his daily commitment in the fight against the mafia and terrorism, in defense of the values and fundamental rights of the human person. His commitment against subversion and terrorism - already starting with the investigations into the murders of Prof. Massimo d'Antona and Prof. Marco Biagi, killed by the Red Brigades, and counteracting the activities of the 'ndrangheta Ruga-Gallace Novella, working between Anzio and Nettuno - highlighted her investigative skills but, above all, her human qualities.
The ROS is heir to the special anti-crime sections of General Carlo Alberto from the Church: and it is precisely to his teachings that General Angelosanto refers to, reminding his Carabinieri to “not stop at the episode, to analyze the context, to reason and move as the opponent; not to settle after the first blow, but to continue and dismantle the whole criminal group". An example on which General Angelosanto bases his daily action, to which this Award is assigned.

LUCIANO TAVAZZA - 2019
"Medal of Honor to the memory for Social Solidarity"
Journalist
To Luciano Tavazza, a man, a believer and a volunteer who taught us how profoundly free politics can be: that means not only doing something for others without money, but above all taking responsibility responsibly and free of human coexistence and consequently the social dimension and human of every person.
With her life she emphasized the ethical primacy of solidarity with respect to the sphere of utility, acting without ulterior motives to meet every person in need, helping her to respond to those needs that make her poor, marginalized, dependent.
A political choice of commitment to change what can and must be changed by recalling the Constitution of the Italian Republic: not just a Charter to remember or to frame, but a daily commitment to achieve that Moral Constitution, Rights and Duties that it presupposes.
This Award is given to the memory of Luciano Tavazza, so that his work is not forgotten and our common commitment to others is not satisfied with a world that does not want to change anything.
Awarding Ceremony
Naples, 18 may 2019
ANNELLA PRISCO - 2019
"Medal of Honor for Culture"
Journalist, Writer
To Annella Prisco, for her work and, in particular, for the book “Girasoli al vento. Riflessioni e ricordi su mio padre (Guida editori)” in which the author remembers her father Michele, one of the most significant protagonists of twentieth-century literature. Annella Prisco prefers, for this writing, to narrate the human side of the father, retracing pages of life lived, of family life, accompanied by reflections on the times we live, on how much the world has changed in just fifteen years, the way of communicating and to live.
These beautiful pages of memories fly away lightly and at the same time are veiled by melancholy for the figure of a father, as well as a writer, affectionate and present who has always had a special relationship with his two daughters Annella and Caterina.
Annella Prisco uses the metaphor of the "Sunflowers" writing: "We are sunflowers in the wind, moved by the current of the unknowns, of the sudden change of the scenarios, but with the ability to turn, despite everything, always looking towards the sun, towards a near horizon or far away, but nevertheless welcoming for everyone, in the perennial game of the parts, which is the becoming and the destiny of human history".
This Award is given to Annella Prisco as a worthy heir of a True Culture.

CITY OF HERCULANEUM - 2003
Mayor Luisa Bossa - ITALY
Ercolano deserves much more than the bad reputation that a small number of its inhabitants has inflicted on it. The stretch of land linking Vesuvius to the sea initially strikes for the beauty of its natural landscape that foreign visitors, like the great French writer Colette, have celebrated with admiration and emotion. A sort of archaeological vertigo, making this inspired place rival the famous nearby Pompeii, pulses below the strolling tourists. The splendour of the wonderful villas that from the 18th century onwards have multiplied so as to form the enchanted so-called square of Elbeuf behind the Porticoes protecting this almost unique architectural complex, go by before the visitor’s eyes. Therefore the arguments supporting a Renaissance for this emblematic City are quite numerous. We have no doubts that the different events, such as the one that gathers us here to make the Mediterranean Hymn resound inside the walls of this ancient and modern City, will help, thanks to your initiatives, Mrs Mayor, give back the right place to Ercolano, among the cities built on the shores of our Common Sea, like the grains of a rosary for a common prayer Inspired by a Mediterranean faithful to its past, but definitely open to its future.
