Bishop Michele Tomasi awards La Fonte New Century prize

Bishop Michele Tomasi presented the La Fonte New Century prize and a special mention to distinguished former students of the Pio X College on October 2. The ceremony included civil and religious authorities, high school students, and their families.

The Lazzarin family received this year's prize for their three-generation management of the family business, Latteria Montello spa. Silvia Lazzarin, a granddaughter of founder Giovanni Lazzarin, accepted the award.

During the event, Bishop Tomasi encouraged students to remain inquisitive and avoid settling for easy answers. He urged them to think independently, work with others, and recognize that their personal development is an ongoing process. Laura Catella, the college's educational coordinator, noted that the personal and professional stories of the award recipients serve as inspiration for students to build their own paths.
