Monsignor Antonio Di Donna is the Acerrano of the year 2021. “For the community’s leadership role in a difficult transition year marked by the fight against the virus, social inequalities and for the right to life in the environmental battle.”
These are the reasons why the judging committee of the Acerrano Award of the Year awarded the recognition to His Excellency the Most Reverend Monsignor Antonio Di Donna.
"This event that marks the greeting to the new year is the occasion to celebrate those personalities, associations or entities that have done their utmost and have brought prestige to our city. In the past editions we have celebrated science, the solidarity chain or essential economic sectors, in this one, as a long thread that brings us back to our roots, it was natural to honor a person who has been fighting for years for the rebirth of our community", comments the creator of the award Michele Paolella.
Words to which are added those of the president of the Terra Mia Onlus Association and host of Casa Teatro Vincenzo M. Pulcrano “It is an honour to be able to host this event again this year in the treasure chest of Acerra's history – adding – Monsignor Di Donna, the shepherd of souls, supports and stimulates spiritual predispositions in the local population and tries to establish a lively and harmonious community, with His light and His word”.
The editor-in-chief of Il Pappecio Rosario Aversano is of the same opinion. “It is always a pleasure for us to be able to support this award that is linked to our mission of promoting and defending the city and which this year celebrates a shepherd of the people among the people”.
