The Annibale Ruccello 12 Awards Ceremony will take place on Monday 17.30 December at 2022:28 pm in the Conference Room of Banca Stabiese, which will close the VIII Edition of the Stabia Teatro Festival, which this year too has seen nine significant literary and theatrical events take place from 6 October to XNUMX December.
Two winners were in the theatre field, both very close to the playwright from Castellammare di Stabia after whom the Prize is named.
The winner of the Dramaturgy Award is Lello Guida, co-author of Ruccelli's works L'osteria del melograno, L'asino d'oro, L'Ereditiera, founder with Ruccello of the theatre cooperative Il Carro and author of interesting unpublished plays including Binario Morto, which will soon be on stage at the Teatro Nuovo in Napoli directed by Franco Alfano and Elena Scardino.
The award was assigned by a jury composed of scholars and professors from the Federico II University and the Master in Dramaturgy and Cinematography of the Federico II university Matteo Palumbo, Pasquale Sabbatino, Giuseppina Scognamiglio, Francesco de Cristofaro and Carlo de Nonno, musician and close collaborator of Ruccello as well as custodian of his artistic heritage.
Tonino Taiuti is instead the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award conferred by the Critics' Commission composed of Giulio Baffi, Fabrizio Coscia, Stefano De Stefano, Bianca De Fazio and Armida Parisi. An eclectic actor and artist, Taiuti has crossed the Italian theatre scene admirably combining tradition and experimentation, ranging from theatre to cinema and simultaneously cultivating his passion for the visual arts and music.
As regards the Annibale Ruccello Prize for Poetry, the Commission, composed of Sergio Iagulli, Giancarlo Cavallo, Raffaella Marzano of the Casa della Poesia di Baronissi and Luca Nasuto and Carmen Matarazzo, creators and organizers of the Stabia Teatro Festival, the recognition was awarded in memory of Marcella Continanza, journalist, author of poetic and prose texts and of precious essays.
Continanza, born in Lucania, adopted by Stabia and finally resident in Germany, was the creator and organizer of the European Poetry Festival in Frankfurt am Main, where the most illustrious names from various European nations passed through. She shared with Annibale Ruccello the attention for social issues and for the marginalized.
