Giorgio Minarelli Prize for Journalism and Freedom

Awarded by the Bruno Leoni Institute – Municipality of Bologna · October 2024
During the Giorgio Minarelli Prize ceremony, promoted by the Bruno Leoni Institute and hosted in the historic Sala Carracci of Palazzo Magnani, Anita Likmeta was honored for her outstanding contributions to journalism. Her voice—consistently attuned to themes of individual freedom and critical thought—was celebrated in a context that underscores the power of language and the intellectual responsibility of those who wield it. Special thanks were extended to the Minarelli family and to Alberto Mingardi for establishing a prize that preserves and revitalizes the meaning of freedom in today’s public discourse.
