It was delivered to Maria Chiara Aulisioeditor of Il Mattino, the special Ischia recognition in the 2024 edition of Ischia International Journalism Award. The ceremony took place yesterday afternoon at the Queen Isabella hotel in Lacco Ameno. The jury’s secretary general awarded Aulisio, Carlo Gambalonga. The motivation is to be found in the scoop on the violence suffered by Caivano’s two little cousins, published in Il Mattino and then relaunched by all the national media, with a domino effect that contributed to shaking the consciences of the entire country regarding the conditions of extreme hardship social situation in which the Green Park found itself, to the point of leading the Meloni government to launch an extraordinary plan for the recovery of the area through an allocation of 30 million euros.
Alessio Lasta and Angela Achilli, the hosts of the ceremony, repeatedly emphasized the extraordinary work of Maria Chiara Aulisio at the award ceremony, who in her speech said: “It is a recognition to all of us at Il Mattino, to the Chronicle that worked together – she emphasized – on the events in Caivano. This ugly story has made us realize what the real value of the media is, because thanks to the spotlight that has been turned on that suburb in less than a year things have changed a lot and for the better. There was an ad hoc decree, funds arrived that transformed the face of that city. Which perhaps will never be a wonderland but certainly is now truly different, just think of the transformation that the Delphinia Center has undergone, which previously represented an icon of degradation and a land of drug dealing and drug addicts”.
Then, on the sidelines of the award ceremony, he added: «For me it was a great honor to receive this award, especially to receive it from Carlo Gambalonga: the Ischia Journalism Award is part of the island, its history, its culture».
