Premio Strega 2010!

The 2010 Premio Strega has been awarded!

This year's winner is Antonio Pennacchi for his work, Canale Mussolini.

You can read the official press release by clicking here.

I ordered the book and hope to read it in the next couple of weeks! If you have read the book, leave a comment. I would like to know what you think. The book has received some less than favorable reviews from readers on IBS.it.

This literary prize is quite an honor and many of the great Italian authors (Morante, Ortese, Levi, Eco to name a few!) of the Novecento have won the prize.
