11th MARCO LUCHETTA INTERNATIONAL

The Award pays tribute to their humanitarian approach to journalism. Apart from the professional skills that
this job implies, candidates are required to share the ideals that inspired both the work of the four journalists
and the reason the Foundation was created in their name: solidarity among peoples, respect for ethnic and
political diversities, peaceful coexistence and negotiation as a means to solve conflicts. The goals and scope
of the contest are in line with the spirit that has inspired the activity of the Foundation which has hosted and
provided medical care for hundreds of children coming from all over the world and suffering from injuries and
diseases that cannot be treated in their countries.
These principles are also shared by the winners of the Marco Luchetta Special Award - an acknowledgement reserved for those personalities who have distinguished themselves by pursuing the ideals upon which
the Award is based.
