Premio Strega: a chronicle of italian literature from Maria Bellonci to the present day

With the new edition only days away, revisiting the Premio Strega means retracing one of the most significant moments in Italy’s cultural life. Founded in 1947 by Maria Bellonci and the Amici della Domenica, supported by the Alberti brothers, the prize established itself from the outset as a vital space for exchange and engagement in post-war Italy.
