The selection of the finalist works was entrusted to the expert jury, chaired by Pino Boero, a distinguished former professor of Children’s Literature and the Pedagogy of Reading. The members were Chiara Lagani, an actress and playwright; Michela Possamai, a lecturer at IUSVE University in Venice and former member of the Campiello Giovani Technical Committee; Emma Beseghi, former professor of Children’s Literature at the University of Bologna; and Lea Martina Forti Grazzini, an author and screenwriter for Rai radio and television.<\/p>\n

Storia di Nanni e Mario<\/em>\u00a0di Rosella Postorino (published by Adriano Salani editore).<\/p>\n

For the 11\u201314 category, the three contenders for the prize will be: Il talento della rondine<\/em> by Matteo Bussola (published by Adriano Salani editore), Segui la tigre<\/em> by Luisa Mattia (published by Piemme) e Adelmo che voleva diventare Settimo<\/em> by Daniele Mencarelli (published by Mondadori).<\/p>\n
