GROSSETANO – Here is the citizen of Grosseto who will be awarded the Golden Griffin on August 10th, in Piazza Dante, in the presence of all the authorities of the capital.
A unanimous decision of the thirteen members of the Proloco of Grosseto, led by the president Andrea Bramerini, fully shared by the mayor of the capital, Antonfrancesco Vivarelli Colonna, and by the president of the Province, Francesco Limatola.
It’s about Don Enzo Capitani, priest of the diocese of Grosseto, who dedicated his entire life to combating poverty and fighting social marginalization. He has distinguished himself over the years for his humanitarian, cultural and spiritual commitment, through the promotion of the culture of dialogue and encounter, knowing how to make an extraordinary contribution in the battle against addictions through the Ceis.
His generous and passionate office in favor of the protection of the dignity of the person, exercised daily through Caritas and his role as prison chaplain, was expressed with solidarity initiatives towards those who experience conditions of solitude, hardship and isolation. He has always maintained that fighting for the least puts him face to face with the true history of humanity.
In the name of sharing and listening, he has created various support networks for those most in need. His precious and generous work has extended well beyond our territory, reaching other countries, such as India and Kenya, where, with the help of some volunteers, he has supported some missions and promoted projects to support HIV-positive women and their children, to long-distance adoptions, to people with disabilities.
A life spent with self-sacrifice every day with the least and for the least, which certainly deserves the Golden Griffin.
