Trabucchi Award to the Civil Passion VIII edition 2014

The Trabucchi Award to Civil Passion VIII edition 2014 will be assigned to Giusi Nicolini, Mayor of Lampedusa and Linosa and to the Lampedusa citizenship by a jury formed by Ascanio Celestini, Marco Paolini, Gino Strada, Milena Gabanelli, Carlo Petrini, Gianni Mina, Massimo Cirrus, Alex Zanotelli, Giuseppe and Raffaella Trabucchi, Enrico Faccio.



The award ceremony will be held at Villa Trabucchi in Illasi (Verona) on Sunday, July 20, at 3:30 p.m.

The theme and motivation are very timely. They strike the words of Mayor Nicolini for their incisiveness. «Everyone must know that it is Lampedusa, with its inhabitants, with the forces for the rescue and reception, which gives human dignity to these people, which gives dignity to our country and to Europe as a whole. So, if these deada are only ours, then I want to receive telegrams of condolence after each drowned that is delivered to me. As if he/she had white skin, as if he/she were a child drowned during a vacation». His words tell us about the size of a Mayor and a city left alone to suffer the burden of pain for the broken lives, the loneliness of the survivors, the loss of children.

With the prize they want to share the choices of the Mayor and her council, emphasizing the extraordinary commitment of all citizens of Lampedusa, which serves as a fine example for all, a testimony of overcoming boundaries and distinctions.

The day will revolve around the debate on the Civil Passion involving Giusi Nicolini, Ascanio Celestini, Marco Paolini, Gianni Minà, Fiorella Mannoia, Gianfranco Bettin and philosopher Massimo Donà coordinated by Massimo Cirri.

Musical performances by Lorenzo Monguzzi accompanied by Daniela Savoldi, Roberto and Maurizio Giannone and Gianluca Casadei and participation of Frankie Hi nrg Mc.

Also this year Amarone Trabucchi will receive the coveted prize produced by the family company that has always fought in defense of human values.
