Mediterranean Award "Institutions"
to the Island of Lampedusa
represented by the Mayor Salvatore Martello, Italy

The Island of Lampedusa represents an example of integration and coexistence between men and women of different faiths, cultures, origins. The phenomenon of migration has made the inhabitants of Lampedusa protagonists of a "New Humanism" that Pope Francis himself, in his historic visit to Lampedusa on July 8, 2013, indicated as the only way to counter the "Globalization of indifference".
The Mayor Salvatore Martello represents the example of this humanism: in the meeting with Pope Francis on 10 September 2020 he gave the pontiff a cross made by a Lampedusan craftsman with the wood of the migrant boats and a t-shirt with the words "I am fisherman ".
Pope Francis recalled on this occasion the importance of remaining human by remaining united: “When even in an ocean two ideas that survive the waves meet, something extraordinary can be born”.
In recognition of the capacity of reception, help and integration of the Lampedusans towards migrants, which always manifested itself and even in tragic situations, the juries of the "Mediterranean Prize", symbolically met on 3 October 2020 - anniversary of the Lampedusa massacre in which hundreds of migrants - awarded to the Island of Lampedusa, represented by the Mayor Salvatore Martello, the "MEDITERRANEAN AWARD 2020 INSTITUTIONS".
