Everything is ready for the award ceremony of the Don Luigi Di Liegro International Poetry Prize. The event is scheduled for Saturday 18 September, at 3 pm, in the Throne Room of Palazzo Passarini Falletti in Rome.
The Passarini Falletti palace it is a noble palace located in via Panisperna 207, in the historic center of the capital, precisely in the Monti district. It was built in the first half of the eighteenth century, in place of a previous architectural settlement from the seventeenth century. The Throne Room is a bright environment enriched by Murano chandeliers and a ceiling with wooden coffers.
On this occasion, "Flights of butterflies and bumblebees" will be available, the anthology of the XI edition of the Don Luigi Di Liegro International Poetry Prize, published by “Terra d'ulivi”, with the authors, texts and motivations of the winning works.
Despite the lockdown, which forced the date of the award ceremony of the Don Luigi Di Liegro International Poetry Prize to be moved to September, the 2020 edition recorded "such a large number of works of high literary value", commented the president of the Award, Renato Fiorito. "Despite the difficult conditions - recalled Fiorito - poetry always mysteriously finds its ways to invade the lives of many".
To encourage participation, also due to social distancing regulations, the event will be broadcast live on the Prize Facebook page.
