Isola del Giglio
In September 2012, Lloyd's of London awarded the title of "Seafarers of the Year" recognising the best professional sailing and ship to the "Costa Concordia" crew for their exemplary behaviour during the shipwreck which saved most of the ship's passengers. In January 2013, the municipalities of Isola del Giglio and Monte Argentario were decorated with the highest Italian Civil award: the "Gold Medal of Civil Merit" granted by the President of the Republic for the commitment of citizens, administrators and local institutions in the rescue of the survivors of the ship "Costa Concordia".
