"Castellammare can be told in many ways, showing its negative side or the productive side of the good people of Stabia. For us, the winners represent only the diamond tip of Castellammare, knowing that the real treasure is represented by an aware citizenry that fights to reaffirm its dignity" declare the organizers.
The Radici Prize consists of a reproduction of frescoes from ancient Stabia, created by the master Catello De Simone.
