For the first time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation is collaborating with the Campiello Literature Prize
The Farnesina and the Campiello Foundation have signed an agreement that provides for the participation of five members chosen by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation for the 59th edition, who will join the Jury of Three Hundred Readers called to vote, anonymously, on the five titles chosen by the Jury of Literature. Other forms of collaboration, always aimed at promoting the Italian language and publishing in the world, are being studied between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Foundation, thanks to the network of Italian Cultural Institutes and the portals italiana and New Italian Books.
On 28 May 2021 the Campiello Jury of Literature will meet to select the five finalists and announce the Opera Prima Prize.
