## A Recognition for Poetry

This talent not only highlights the artistic sensitivity of the young Bardolinese but also underscores the importance of culture and personal expression in the growth of young individuals.
## The Words of President Mattarella
During the ceremony, Sergio Mattarella emphasized the significance of youth contributions to society. “Those who receive this recognition today symbolically represent only a fraction of the countless young people who are committed and work diligently in their daily lives,” the President stated.
