The Pirelli Foundation and the Premio Campiello are pleased to invite you to the Selection Ceremony of the Three Finalists for the Premio Campiello Junior, which will be held on Friday, 10 December 2021 at 11.30 a.m. and live streamed on the Facebook page of the Pirelli Foundation and on the social network channels of the Premio Campiello.

The selection will be made by a Jury of Writers chaired by Roberto Piumini, with Chiara Lagani, actress and playwright, Martino Negri, lecturer of Didactics of Literature and of Literature for Children at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Michela Possamai, lecturer at the IUSVE University of Venice, and former member of the Campiello Giovani jury, and David Tolin, bookseller and president of ALIR.

The speakers at the meeting, which will be moderated by Giancarlo Leone, will include Antonio Calabrò, director of the Pirelli Foundation, and Enrico Carraro, president of the Fondazione Il Campiello

In the weeks after the selection of the three finalists, a jury consisting of 160 young people from the final year of primary school and from the three-year lower secondary school courses will be asked to choose the winning title, which will be announced in May 2022 and celebrated in September during the 2022 Campiello Award Ceremony.

In the spring of 2022, the Pirelli Foundation will work with the Premio Campiello to organise a series of events devoted to the world of books and publishing for children. These will be for the jury of young people, as well as for schools and young readers across all Italy, and they will also involve the participation of the authors of the finalist books.
