Mediterranean Awards
 |
In 1996, the Fondazione Mediterraneo instituted the Mediterranean Awards (with various categories) that are granted every year to eminent personalities from the worlds of arts and culture, politics and science and social disciplines, whose actions have contributed to reducing tensions, breaking down cultural barriers and developing shared values in the Greater Mediterranean.
This Award is considered one of the most prestigious acknowledgements in the world. Various events are associated with the Mediterranean Award, such as the “Euro-Mediterranean Concert for Dialogue Among Cultures” and the “Epiphany Concert” (organized by the Cultural Centre “Oltre il Chiostro” in collaboration with the Fondazione Mediterraneo. The latter event is broadcast by RaiUno and Rai International throughout the world every year on the morning of January 6th).

The Fondazione Mediterraneo granted Mediterranean Award Art and Creativity 2010 to Maestro Roberto De Simone.
Theater director, composer and musicologist, De Simone has given an exemplary contribution to the history of lyric art and of the arts of entertainment, especially as manager of San Carlo Theater of Naples. His primary aim was to valorize and repropose the cultural, theatrical and musical heritage of the popular tradition of Campania, both oral and written. The popular repertoire is not reproposed in an arbitrary way, it rather relies on systems related to culture, such as for instance writing and metrical elaboration.
