Gente di Mare Award
The recognition for the people of Termoli who bring value to the city
About Gente di Mare
An award that tells the story of Termoli
The Gente di Mare Award is the commendation that the Municipality of Termoli (Province of Campobasso) reserves annually for the citizens of Termoli who have most distinguished themselves in their professional fields and in the life of the community. Established in the late eighties, it is one of the most heartfelt recognitions in the city, linked to maritime culture and local identity.
On the patron saint's day
The ceremony takes place on December 5th, on the day dedicated to the patron saint San Basso, at the Auditorium in Via Elba, before a large audience of citizens. Fishermen, artists, athletes, associations, representatives of law enforcement, and deserving students take turns on stage: a mosaic that tells the story of the city in all its components.
The true soul of the city
The Gente di Mare Award celebrates not only prominent figures but, above all, those who, through their daily work, bring value to Termoli: from fishermen to volunteers, from artisans to students. It is a moment that intertwines memory, gratitude, and a sense of belonging, in close connection with the winter feast of San Basso.
Gente di Mare — edition 2026
The Gente di Mare Award is a regular fixture on the Termoli calendar, linked to the feast of the patron saint San Basso on December 5th. For 2026, the ceremony is expected again at the Auditorium in Via Elba, with recognition for citizens, associations, and entities that have brought value to the city in their respective fields. The list of awardees and the details of the evening will be communicated by the Municipality of Termoli closer to the date.
