00:00We have arrived at the 12th edition, a prize that consolidates, that grows, that becomes more and more a reality in the field of science and in the field of promoting our cultural identity.
00:18A prize that also becomes a reference for many authors who want to present their works and is a very strong incentive to write in local languages, in the dialect.
00:33And in these 12 years, thanks to a collection of over 4,000 works, we have really done an incredible job to encourage writing.
00:44We have left many important works, vocabulary, essays, but also high-level scientific research.
00:54This is the great value of this award, which consolidates, which becomes more and more important, a reference for the scientific world, but also for all those language enthusiasts who today really see a reference in this award.
01:08There are many, many works, certainly a highlight is a thank you to Dr. Vito Tenore for having translated the Italian Constitution into all dialects, into all local languages.
01:25This is our reference from a constitutional point of view, which really enters everyone's home in this way and gives the possibility of being able to find it in the various cultural destinations.
01:40Luigi Manzi, for us, was a reference, he was among the people who wanted this award.
01:48He is a great scholar, a great author, a very important friend for me, who has accompanied us in these years in the growth of the award.
01:59And so we wanted to establish this important award in memory of his work and in memory of his great person.
02:10We are proud of it, we are proud of it, it will be a memory forever, because the people who value it must be remembered and must be rewarded more and more, before and after.
