A tambourine for the Ezio D'agnano recognition

MEMORIAL RECOGNITION

OF ATTY. EZIO D'AGNANO IN MEMORY OF THE PATRONAL FEAST

How it began: 

On June 17, 2007, the young lawyer from San Vito, Vincenzo D’Agnano, passed away prematurely in San Vito dei Normanni after courageously fighting a serious illness.
Ezio – as he was known by everyone – was a young man very active in social work, volunteering, the world of sports, and local politics, but above all, he was a believer who identified strongly with the devotion to the saints venerated in his town. In 2004, he had, in fact, contributed to the birth of the "San Vincenzo Ferreri Feast Committee," of which he was the first member.
The Committee had set the goal of revitalizing the devotion to the Co-Patron Saint of San Vito dei Normanni, re-evaluating the festival traditionally held in October.
Upon his passing, the entire city was shaken, first and foremost his friends from the Feast Committee. Thus, the idea arose to find a way to commemorate his person among future generations on one hand, and his commitment to patronal feasts on the other, serving as an example for every citizen of San Vito. These events, in fact, stem from the essential silent work of citizens who commit themselves with selflessness and no profit motive, driven by the common good, love for their roots, and above all, devotion to their patrons.


To whom it is awarded: 

Born with the idea of being aimed at a person who particularly distinguished themselves in social issues during the year or at some important guest who participated in the patronal feast, the custom has become established to offer it to the most famous artist who comes to perform during the celebration.

From its beginnings, the award has been a tambourine, and this year, for the fifteenth edition, we were the ones to create it. Illuminated and personalized by including the award details. This gesture goes to Gemelli DiVersi for their unwavering commitment to social causes, such as their collaboration with Telefono Azzurro or the album "Fuego".
