President Marras comments: «It is an immense honor for me to continue working to preserve and enhance the artistic and human legacy of Maria, one of the greatest women of Sardinia. It will be a special edition of the Maria Carta Prize next September 1st as always in Siligo. And we will also continue to enhance relationships with the Sardinians scattered in Italy and around the world as done with the communities of New York, Paris, Madrid and in other European countries including Germany and Holland, in addition to the stages in the Peninsula with the collaboration of Fasi, the Federation of Sardinian Associations in Italy".
