Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella, Italy - December 2025 - The town council of Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella has awarded the Sant'Ambrogio 2025 Prize, edition number 29, to the Salesian San Zeno Institute Verona, for the 40 years of the Vocational School in Marble Art and Automation that is based in the town and has workshops in a pavilion of the former exhibition centre where Marmomac was born. With one motivation above all: ‘For its commitment and dedication to forming young people and supporting the marble sector in the area’. The parchment and the marble sculpture, a bronze by artist Matteo Cavaioni, which give substance to the award destined since 1997 to those who have brought prestige and dedication to the community, were handed over to Fr Mariano Diotto, Director of the Salesian Institute. The award was presented by the mayor Roberto Zorzi on Sunday 7 December at Villa Brenzoni Bassani, in the Zanotto hall crowded with authorities, association representatives and Ambrosians. Fr Diotto said ‘A big thank you from the Salesians and those who are involved in this school in Sant'Ambrogio, where one also studies by “getting one's hands dirty”: everyone believes in this model, in Don Bosco's model, and collaborates in its good functioning together with the trade associations and companies’. And he concluded by announcing new projects for the new school year, with a series of innovations'.
