The Finalists of the 63rd Premio Campiello Talk about Their Books
The story of a North that is more than just geography, one that is woven from memory, emotion and human ties; the madness and poetry in the life of a nineteenth-century doctor and his companion; eight winter tales, suspended between longing and dread; a dark narrative of bloodshed in the Maremma at the dawn of the Fascist era; a journey through the sites and recollections of book burnings across history, meditating on the enduring power of reading. Who will claim the 63rd Premio Campiello?
While waiting to know the name of the winner, the Pirelli Foundation spoke with the five finalist authors, who talked about their books. In the week before the announcement, we will hear their voices, discovering one book each day through the video interviews available on this page.
Here is the complete programme:
Monday 8 September 2025: Marco Belpoliti – Nord nord (Einaudi)
Tuesday 9 September 2025: Wanda Marasco – Di spalle a questo mondo (Neri Pozza)
Wednesday 10 September 2025: Monica Pareschi – Inverness (Polidoro)
Thursday 11 September 2025: Alberto Prunetti – Troncamacchioni (Feltrinelli)
Friday 12 September 2025: Fabio Stassi – Bebelplatz (Sellerio)
The Awards Ceremony, broadcast live on RAI5, will take place on Saturday, 13 September, at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, where the winner of the Premio Campiello 2025 will be proclaimed. Pirelli, long a champion of reading and corporate culture, is once again proud to support the event.
