Caserta Celebrates Oscars with a Special Initiative

Caserta awaits the Oscars with a special initiative. Awaiting the ceremony in Los Angeles, which sees the city involved with the nominated film "I, Captain" by Matteo Garrone, inspired by the story of Mamadou Kouassi, today Caserta has awarded special Oscars to 8 citizens who daily commit themselves to making our land, a land worthy of an Oscar. The ceremony, moderated by journalist Nadia Verdile, was held at the Provincial Auditorium of Caserta. Here are the names of those who presented the awards and those who were awarded: Antonio Casale, director of the Fernandes Immigrant Center in Castel Volturno awarded Agyei Evans, a Ghanaian worker excluded from the channels of political asylum and international protection, residing in Castel Volturno. Sandro Ruotolo, journalist, awarded Francesco Massarelli and Tiziana Ciccarelli for their cultural and cinematographic commitment. Lella Palladino of the Foundation One None and One Hundred Thousand awarded Hayat El Bejjat, a woman victim of violence. Enzo Tosti, from the Stop Biocide network, awarded the student coordination Kaos engaged on the environmental front against the 4th line of the Acerra incinerator. Eliana Riva, a journalist committed in Palestine, awarded the committee Caserta City of Peace, founded by Bishop Raffaele Nogaro. Monsignor Pietro Lagnese, bishop of Capua and Caserta awarded Leonardo Capurso, a citizen of the Acquaviva district of Caserta, committed to the regeneration paths of social housing. Stefano Consiglio, president of the Foundation With the South, awarded Margherita Tortora, engaged in the shared care of the city's common good gardens. After the delivery of the Oscars, in a video connection from Hollywood, Matteo Garrone and Mamadou Kouassi shared the very exciting last hours of waiting for the ceremony. Mamadou emphasized "the richness of these so intense months, during which, thanks to the film 'I, Captain', we had the opportunity to meet thousands of people, students, who today have a different awareness regarding the themes of travel, migration to Europe, and the human drama that the current management of immigration brings with it." The initiative had a very participated moment in the morning. In fact, we animated the external courtyard of the social house "Mamadou Sy" in the former Onmi of viale Beneduce. A vital social space for the city, which has been waiting for 4 years for its renovation and opening by the Municipality of Caserta, with already allocated regional funds. In the courtyard, the theatrical show "O Sud è fesso" was held with Sandro Ruotolo, Patrizio Trampetti and Jennà Romano, the readings by Cinzia Crisci of the bookstore Che Storia, the Sketch Breakfast with Madame Pillow and many stands of artists and associations.
