On Tuesday, November 11th at 11:30 AM, at Palazzo Crepadona, the San Martino Award will be presented, established in 1972, to recognize and honor those who have distinguished themselves with concrete works and actions in the fields of science, literature, arts, music, productive activities, work, education, sports, and the environment, as well as through social, assistance, and philanthropic initiatives.
Since 2021, the Award can be given to an adult individual or to an Association/Third Sector Entity, and also to a minor. The municipal administration for 2025 awards the prize to Father Roberto Rizzato for the adult category, and to Leonardo D’Incà, a young minor.
Father Roberto Rizzato, originally from Vicenza, has been an integral part of the Belluno community for years. From a young age, he chose to dedicate his life to serving others, first as a missionary in Angola and then in Italy, engaging in assistance and volunteer activities for the most vulnerable people. His testimony of concrete charity, lived with discretion and continuity, fully reflects the spirit of self-giving to others, also embodied by the patron saint.
Leonardo D’Incà, born in 2009 and residing in Belluno, a student at the sports high school, has distinguished himself for his commitment, determination, and achievements in alpine skiing, a discipline in which he has achieved important successes at the regional and national level. His athletic performances and the seriousness with which he approaches training and competitions make him a positive example for his peers, as well as a young athlete who helps to promote the name of Belluno on Italian and international slopes.
