Anni stregati 1947–2006 (UTET, 2006), published with the collaboration of the Fondazione Bellonci, retraces the sixty-year history of the Premio Strega, Italy’s most prestigious literary award. The volume collects accounts, portraits, and documents that illuminate the evolution of Italian literature, culture, and publishing in the postwar era. By presenting the works and debates of the winners and finalists, it reflects on the intersections between literary creation, cultural politics, and public reception. The book serves both as a chronicle of Italian intellectual life and as a mirror of changing aesthetic sensibilities, offering a panorama of contemporary fiction and its cultural impact.
