Notizie.it editorial team An award for civic virtue
Il Civic Virtue Award, now in its 25th edition, is an important initiative that celebrates those who have distinguished themselves for their commitment to strengthening the social and civic fabric of the community. Among this year's winners is Yehia Elgaml, father of Ramy, a young man who tragically disappeared in a chase with the Carabinieri in Milan. This recognition is not only a tribute to Ramy's memory, but also a sign of hope and resilience in a moment of great pain for the family.
Civic virtues rewarded
The award is given to those who, through consistent behavior over time, demonstrate a concrete adherence to the principles of civic living. Among the civic virtues that are celebrated are: solidarity, attention to the territory, mutual respect and protection of the weakest. These values are fundamental to building a cohesive and inclusive society, capable of facing the challenges of the present and the future. The awards ceremony, which will be held at the Teatro Franco Parenti, represents a moment of reflection and celebration for all those who work daily for the good of the community.
An example of civics and integration
Yehia Elgaml, despite his deep pain, continued to express trust in institutions, demonstrating a great example of civic duty and integration. The reasons for the award underline how, in an increasingly fragmented society, it is essential to shine a spotlight on those who work to strengthen the sense of community. Carlo Montalbetti, general manager of Comieco, highlighted the importance of recognizing these efforts, which contribute to building a better future for all.
In addition to Yehia Elgaml, the award was also given to Emin Haziri, a successful chef who, after fleeing Kosovo, is committed to feeding the homeless, and to Don Paolo Steffano, a priest who works in difficult contexts in the Milanese hinterland. These awardees represent a shining example of how individual commitment can have a significant impact on the community.
