The idea of this award – says editor Luca Betti – was born in our editing room as a project to give a voice to emerging authors who, inspired by the Via Francigena, could narrate the deep sense of travelling slowly, discovering the slow rhythm of a wayfarer and introducing another perspective on live, places and traditions. […] It was an idea which quickly gained the appreciation of public and private partners who, since the beginning, supported us.

We are extrememly happy with the quality of the texts – adds Betti – but also the fact that they arrived from various regions crossed, or not, by the Via Francigena: Piedmont, Lazio and Tuscany, but even Veneto and Marche. A sign of diversity and a rich depth of Italian territories that demand to be narrated”.

This selection of names was chosen through a complex selection process, followed by being edited by Betti Editrice and the precious work of judges: writers, Paolo Ciampi and Simona Baldanzi; journalists, Selin Sanli and Silvia Iuliano; Italian teacher at the Italian Institute of Krakow, Iza Frackowiak. All texts in this first selection will be part of two publications included in the Betti Editrice catalogue and will be distributed on a national level.

The award partners: the region of Tuscany, the European Association of Via Francigena Ways, the municipalities of Pontremoli, Lucca, Fucecchio, Siena and Monteriggioni, the Italian Institute of Culture in Krakow and the Siena Lions Club.
