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 awarded H.E. Mgr. Luigi Padovese, vicar apostolic of Anatolia with the Mediterranean Award for Culture - the "Totem of Peace" by sculptor Mario Molinari - but unfortunately his sudden death stopped the symbolic acknowledgment of his peace path.

Neverthless, we did not want to leave Mgr. Padovese’s commitment memory pending and in an extraordinary meeting the Council of the Fondazione Mediterraneo decided to establish a section of the Award devoted to the memory of that man who, keeping silent and carrying the value of his work, was able to represent the power of understanding to the inter-religious and cultural dialogue to bring a message of nobility and heart to difficult areas.
The award was claimed by H.E. the Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, Archibishop of Naples.
