PREMISE TO THE NOTICE
The Gennaro Cannavacciuolo Cultural Association, with headquarters in Via Valtravaglia, 38 00141 Rome, CF 96566640585, is announcing a competition for the assignment of a prize aimed at supporting and promoting an Italian actor/actress-singer.
With an approach aimed at enhancing the personal resources of the new generations, the Association will offer the opportunity of a cash prize as well as some benefits involving realities of the cultural world, private and public, who will want to recognize the high cultural value of the profession of the actor.
Starting from the unquestionable cultural level of a personality like Gennaro Cannavacciuolo, who has always put artistic training, theatrical experimentation, attention to new expressive models before market logic, who has always looked to the "masters" of international culture with a wise and refined cultural approach, the association wants to start with determination and conviction from a rich, multifaceted and original cultural dimension. For this reason, it is necessary to start from the definition of Culture.
* Culture is everything that has a unifying function between people: it unites peoples, ethnic groups, generations: think of the many books, music, paintings or films for which there are no borders, nor political or religious beliefs;
* Culture is everything that reveals the individual: although unifying, culture brings out the diversity and individuality of the person;
* Culture is everything that makes us free: it gives us critical capacity and, in addition to making us (re)discover ourselves, our vitality and identity, it frees us from often limiting conditioning;
* Culture is everything that is capable of raising the quality of life and making man better, bringing him into a dimension that we would define as spiritual, in a timeless continuum.
