The 2023 Premio Campiello is coming to an end: let’s find out about the five finalist books
The evening of the Awards Ceremony for the winners of the 2023 Premio Campiello is fast approaching. Once again, it is supported by Pirelli, which is steadfast in its commitment to promoting reading. The final, which will be held on Saturday 16 September, at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, will be presented by Francesca Fialdini and Lodo Guenzi, and broadcast live on Rai 5 television.
As in recent years, the Pirelli Foundation has invited the five finalist writers to record video interviews in which they talk about their books. Avid readers will thus be able to learn more about the protagonists of this sixty-first edition of the prestigious literary award, while eagerly waiting for the name of the winner to be revealed.
The five finalists will tell us about their works with one interview a day for a week, from today until Friday 15 September. We will hear about the biography of Joyce Lussu, one of the most revolutionary and fascinating personalities of the Resistance and of twentieth-century Italy; a novel in which the protagonist confronts her own desires and seeks spaces in which to express them; an essay that reconstructs the role of women during the resistance to Nazi-Fascism; a book that combines prose and poetry, in which strange travellers traverse the Mediterranean in search of an ancient, untamed deity; and a diary chronicling a summer meandering around Rome, remembering the life of Ennio Flaiano.
The complete programme of videos that will be available on the fondazionepirelli.org website is as follows:
Monday 11 September 2023: Silvia Ballestra – La Sibilla (Laterza)
Tuesday 12 September 2023: Marta Cai – Centomilioni (Einaudi)
Wednesday 13 September 2023: Tommaso Pincio – Diario di un’estate marziana (Perrone)
Thursday 14 September 2023: Benedetta Tobagi – La resistenza delle donne (Einaudi)
Friday 15 September 2023: Filippo Tuena – In cerca di Pan (Nottetempo)
Enjoy the show – and the read!
