I noticed the concert in advertisements such as this one around Stresa. 

Each year for the Christmas concert a different musical production is chosen. This year I had the pleasure of hearing the Quincy Blue Choir presenting Joy. The auditorium was almost filled. Before the concert, a presentation by Stresa's sindaco, mayor, of the annual Stresiani Benemerito award. This annual award recognizes a Stresa citizen who has benefited Stresa in some way. This year's recipient was Padre Umberto Muratore. He is the cultural CEO of the Centro di Studio Rosminiani, in Stresa. Although in Italian, I understood some of his short speech of thanks. He told a little story of a man who had done so many good deeds for his town and neighbors. And although the neighbors were grateful of him, and told him so, and told him that he did not need to do any more, he continued. He told them that their words of gratitude only encouraged him to continue, and to always strive to do more. It seemed a lovely and simple speech, heartfelt and real. 

Like this one; perhaps you know it:
