" The Libertas Avellino Provincial Committee Establishes Scholarships for the First National Poetry Competition "

The Libertas Avellino Provincial Committee, in collaboration with the Imperial Order of the Knights of the Grand Cross – Dynastic Magistral Order of the Antinolfi House, known as “di Collana,” has officially approved the awarding of scholarships to the top winners of the First National Poetry Competition. This initiative serves as a tangible recognition and support for youth culture and creativity.

This project is part of the second edition of the 2024/2025 "Raffaele Mancuso" Scholarship, promoted by FISI Benevento/Avellino – Libertas Avellino, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to fostering a holistic approach to education that integrates culture, sports, and personal development.

The award ceremony will take place on October 11, 2025, in the highly symbolic setting of the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, during the Libertas Sports Festival, “Golden Medals Ceremony.” The event will be attended by representatives from public institutions, academia, cultural circles, and the sports world. This prestigious context underscores Libertas’ interdisciplinary approach to celebrating human excellence in all its forms.

The initiative stands out for its high cultural value, further enriched by the contribution of the Dynastic Order of the Antinolfi House, which emphasizes poetry as a spiritual and intellectual heritage capable of building bridges between eras, regions, and diverse sensibilities.

Official recognition has been extended to the National President of Libertas, Andrea Pantano, for his continued support of cultural initiatives. Special thanks are also expressed to the Grand Master of the Imperial Order and President of the Libertas Avellino Provincial Committee, Professor Vincenzo Mancuso.

The Libertas Avellino National Poetry Competition—with its associated scholarships and the award ceremony held at the Maradona Stadium—represents a virtuous model of cultural promotion on a national scale, centered on the value of the individual, talent, and the beauty of poetic expression.
