Giuseppe Sciacca (Rome 12.08.1960 - 21.09.1986 †) was a student of architecture whom, during his short life, gave evidence of a strong moral integrity and a great generosity towards the others. He prematurely passed away by an accident (parachute failure) occurred during the festival in the Blessed Virgin of the Divine Love’s honour, in the sky above this venerated Roman Shrine.
The International Culture and Voluntary Work Association “Uomo e Società”, promoter of the “Giuseppe Sciacca” Award, chose him as an example for the new generations and a committed supporter of permanent values, during an age unfortunately marked by a strong crisis of identity among the youths. In the firm conviction that our Lord Creator is the root and foundation of human dignity, the Association “Uomo e Società” tries to interpret each human voice whose supernatural dignity is deliberately violated. Without God there cannot be any justice: each individual obtains the due consideration only if society commits to respect and put into effect the principles of natural law, as a realistic expression of the Eternal Law. If that does not happen, everything opens the way to injustice and power’s abuse. The International Award “Giuseppe Sciacca” inspires and leads those principles, and means to transmit them through its development.
