Città di Castello honours three new voices for its twentieth edition
Tommaso Sinicato, Marzia Masiello and Sergio Prodigo win the fiction, poetry and essay categories.
The twentieth Premio Letterario Città di Castello has named the winners of its three main sections. Tommaso Sinicato took the fiction prize with Apoptosi; Marzia Masiello placed first in poetry with Dell’amore, il consolo; and Sergio Prodigo won the essay category with Il melodramma della storia. The awards were presented on 24 October at Teatro degli Illuminati during the anniversary’s central ceremony. The section developed with I Borghi più belli d’Italia honoured Francesco Maria Spanò for a story about Gerace, while twelve-year-old Lois Turner received a special jury award. The results closed four days spanning schools, the public library, theatre and author events, reaffirming the competition’s focus on unpublished work and emerging voices.
