Three awards will be assigned tomorrow night (8:45 pm) – Saturday, January 10 – at the Teatro Pier Paolo Pasolini in Casarsa della Delizia, a small town of 8600 souls in the Province of Pordenone:
- CITIZEN OF THE YEAR 2014 (24th edition) - Franco Bagnarol
- DIPLOMA HUMANITAS (21st edition) - Asd S.A.S. Casarsa
- YOUNG TALENT (5th edition) - Matteo Troia
Matteo Troia, 21 years old, was born and lives in Casarsa della Delizia, in the Province of Pordenone, where he studies Computer Science at the University of Udine. Matteo is one of the most active young knowledge volunteers in the network promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale.
In line with the recommendation of the European Union to go local, the new Italian digital champion, Riccardo Luna, has decided to nominate a digital champion for each Italian municipality to create a network of 8000 digital activists, volunteers and enthusiasts entrusted with promoting digital issues throughout the country. Matteo, who is one of them, was nominated last November at Hadrian’s temple in Rome.
Matteo wrote a web surfing manual dedicated to over-sixties entitled “The Web Plot” for Grandparents on the Internet in the Province of Palermo in the municipalities of Castelbuono and Isnello.
I like to think of computers as a window on the world. Wherever, there is a PC on a desk, it’s as if that room had an extra window, a special window. It’s a window that when thrown open catapults you into a world you could not even have imagined exists.
