The eighth edition of "Giancarlo scriverebbe di..." has selected two winning articles.
According to Il Mattino and Radio Siani, the winners are Greta Marrazzo and Emilio Vittozzi. Marrazzo won with "'Chiudete tutto': notte di fuochi e veleni a Giugliano." Vittozzi won with "In porta allo 'Stadio Paradiso'."
The two articles were read during the 15th edition of Buon Compleanno Gianca and selected for publication on Il Mattino online on September 23, the anniversary of Giancarlo Siani's death.
The contest is organized in memory of Giancarlo Siani and gives participants the opportunity to act as journalists for a day.
Two subjects, one assignment
Marrazzo's article focuses on an ecological emergency in Giugliano. It describes a large fire, suspected waste burning and the continuing environmental danger associated with the Terra dei Fuochi.
The full text of Vittozzi's winning article was not included in the acquired sources. Its title, "In porta allo 'Stadio Paradiso'," is identified by Radio Siani as the second winning entry, but the available documents do not provide a detailed synopsis. The sources also do not state whether the two articles were ranked or considered joint winners.
How the contest works
Participants are invited to write about current affairs, degradation or stories of redemption. Selected texts are read publicly during Buon Compleanno Gianca and published around the anniversary.
That recurring format is confirmed by the previous edition: Radio Siani's report on the earlier contest likewise documents the publication of selected winning articles on Il Mattino online.
For readers, the two 2026 titles therefore offer a direct entry point. Marrazzo's published piece can be read in full on Il Mattino online, while Vittozzi's title is listed alongside it as the edition's second selected article.
