Euro-Mediterranean Excellence Award ceremony in Rome

Overview

The fourth edition of the Euro-Mediterranean International Excellence Award, known as the ‘Oscar del Mediterraneo’, took place on October 14, 2026, at the Ministry of Culture in Rome. Organized by the Association of Mediterranean Journalists, the multidisciplinary event sought to foster dialogue and cooperation between Europe and the Mediterranean through culture, sport, and diplomacy.

Following the ceremony, several prominent figures in Italian sports were confirmed as recipients. Among those honored were football figures Francesco Totti, Christian Vieri, and Alessandro Moggi. Totti was specifically recognized for his sporting career and the human values he demonstrated, stating that being a “positive example for younger generations” remains a significant satisfaction.

A Special Memorial Award was posthumously presented to the family of the late Serbian footballer and coach Siniša Mihajlović, accompanied by an artwork by painter Benito Macerata. Other awardees included Alberto Barachini, Giampiero Cannella, Umberto Vattani, Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, and various figures from the arts and athletics, such as Fiona May and Lina Sastri. The ceremony emphasized the role of communication and the arts as universal languages capable of transcending geographic and cultural boundaries.
