As the mayor wrote in the motivation: “Lucia Gotti Venturato has founded the association Sole Luna – Un ponte tra le culture and has created Sole Luna Doc Film Festival, giving voice to stories of people, personalities and communities related to problematic situations such as marginality and poverty, and in contexts of crisis where fundamental and inalienable human rights are not respected”.
The Honorary citizenship is an important recognition for the work that has been made for 12 years by Lucia and the Sole Luna team in Palermo.
