The news of his death was confirmed by the mayor of Consenza, Franz Caruso, who expressed his sadness at the disappearance of "one of the most cultured figures, in the broadest sense of the term, that Calabria and the whole country have been able to include in their recent history."
The jury of the Princess of Asturias Award praised Ordine "for her defence of the humanities and her commitment to education and the values rooted in the most universal European thought", while praising her commitment to"transmit, especially to the youngest, that the importance of knowledge is found in the very process of learning".
