Campiello Junior 2023: The Stories and Words of the Finalists
Billy Bologna accidentally destroys the biggest domino in the world. Arte, a black cat, and Carmen, a wild little girl, are persecuted by the Inquisition. Poems in which the words are like the steps of a walk. Tullio, a boy with a vivid imagination and all the fantastical creatures that live in his mind. Lilith, who tells the story of her childhood among chickens that look like T-Rex, cats with the names of painters, and other strange characters. And more poems, recreating the world with curiosity and a desire to explore.
The six finalist books in the second edition of Campiello Junior, in the words of their authors. A series of interviews by the Pirelli Foundation are on their way, so you can get to know them better before the winner is announced on Thursday 11 May 2023 at 11 a.m. at the Teatro Franco Parenti in Milan. The event will be presented by Massimo Polidoro (journalist, writer and science communicator).
