Choice of triplets for the Narrative, Poetry and Non-fiction sections. For the selection of the 67th edition, the Foundation received 137 literary works

The Naples Prize, which since 1954 has been assigning awards to literary works selected by a widespread popular jury, has its 2021 triplets. For the Narrative, they are competing Nicola Lagioia with “The city of the living”, Einaudi; Enzo Moscato, “Archeology of blood”, Cronopio; And Aurelio Picca, “The greatest criminal in Rome was my friend”, Bompiani. For poetry, they will see it Carmen gallo with “The Fugitives”, Aragno; Laura Liberale, “Stratigraphic Units”, Ithaca Archipelago; And Alberto Rollo, “The last round of guard”, Manni. Finally, the non-fiction is in full swing Salvatore Settis with “Incursioni”, Feltrinelli; Riccardo Falcinelli, “Figures”, Einaudi; And Marco D’Eramo, “Dominio”, Feltrinelli.


Among all the texts received by the Foundation that organizes it for the 2021 edition, the nine finalists were selected by the technical jury made up of journalists, writers and university professors (Mirella Armiero, Stefano Balassone, Maurizio Braucci, Edoardo Camurri, Valerio Caprara, Antonella Cilento, Domenico Ciruzzi, Chiara Ghidini, Antonio Gnoli, Alfredo Guardiano, Eugenio Lucrezi, Wanda Marasco, Bruno Moroncini, Ermanno Paccagnini, Matteo Palumbo, Giacomo Raccis, Monica Ruocco, Pasquale Sabbatino, Antonio Tricomi, Paola Villani).

But beware, the Naples Award is unique in the Italian cultural panorama, both because, unlike other awards promoted by private individuals, promoted by a Foundation made up of public entities (Municipality of Naples, Campania Region, Metropolitan City, Chamber of Commerce), and because it is animated by thousands of “reading judges” all over the country, 1,700 this year, who decide the winners with their vote. For the selection of the finalist candidates for the 67th edition, the Foundation received 137 literary works, sent by the publishing houses.
