Valeria Di Marco Wins the Laurentum Poetry Award 10|11|21 - Valeria Di Marco, an Italian residing in Washington DC and working for the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF), received the second edition Laurentum award dedicated to Italians living abroad with her poem "Afghanistan." The initiative by the Laurentum cultural center, promoted under the patronage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is addressed to Italian residents and people of Italian origin living abroad who compete by submitting poems in Italian and/or Italian dialects. With the help of our co-nationals around the world, the aim of the initiative is to promote and diffuse Italian language and culture. The poem that won the award was selected by a prestigious jury chaired by Under Secretary of State Gianni Letta. The winner will receive a work of art specifically designed by artist Angelo Bucarelli. The award ceremony will take place at the National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome on November 30, 2010.
