The 39th edition of the Premio Giuseppe Moscati will take place on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 4 p.m. at the Franciscan Convent of Casanova di Carinola. The 2026 edition is dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Crans-Montana tragedy, to support for the survivors, and to solidarity with their families.
The award is described in the reporting as an annual recognition for health workers, volunteers and citizens who work to relieve the suffering of others, inspired by the example of Saint Giuseppe Moscati.
A ceremony centered on memory and solidarity
According to the validated reporting, including Il Mattino Caserta and Corriere della Sera Napoli, this year's program brings together survivors, parents of some of the victims, rescuers, doctors, writers and musicians. The ceremony combines civic remembrance, research and care, culture and entertainment, and social commitment.
The sources describe the event as upcoming at the time of publication, so the program, participants and timing may still change. Readers planning to attend should check local updates closer to the date, as no standalone official organizer page with the full program was identified in the research.
Paolo and Giovanni Campolo to receive the main prize
The principal Premio Prof. Giuseppe Moscati 2026 will go to Paolo and Giovanni Campolo, father and son identified in the reports as rescuers during the fire. They are also listed to receive an honorable mention from the Jus et Pax body.
Five survivors are named as recipients of the recognition "L'Angelo della vita": Eleonora Palmieri, Francesca Nota, Lorenzo Riva, Kean Kaizer Talingdan and Manfredi Marcucci.
Writers, music and medicine in the program
The program also includes writer Maurizio De Giovanni, the Piccolo Coro dell'Antoniano di Caivano, and Enzo Palumbo.
Two doctors from Ospedale Niguarda, Franz Baruffaldi and Giampaolo Casella, are listed among the participants. The research confirms their inclusion in the program but does not specify their clinical roles in relation to the tragedy.
