Andrea Bajani with his novel “L'anniversario” (Feltrinelli) won the Strega Prize with 194 votes. In second place after Bajani - who had already won the Strega Giovani Prize on June 3 - is writer Elisabetta Rasy, with “Perduto è questo mare” (Rizzoli; 133 votes), who narrowly beats favorite Nadia Terranova, third with “Quello che so di te” (Guanda; 117 votes), followed by Paolo Nori, with “Chiudo la porta e urlo” (Mondadori; 103 votes) and Michele Ruol , with “Inventario di quel che resta dopo che la foresta brucia” (TerraRossa; 99 votes). Apart from Rasy's initial reception, the lineup that brought them into the Benevento semifinals was almost unchanged. However, yesterday's Strega Prize final may have been the last one at the National Etruscan Museum. In fact, sources at the Collegio Romano explain that for next year the ministry reserves the right to offer the Bellonci Foundation (which has been organizing the prize since 1947) the Cinecittà venue at 1055 Via Tuscolana. This - it is pointed out - in order to keep with the principles of the Olivetti Plan, aimed at enhancing the suburbs through the presence of cultural reviews of excellence. A clean break with tradition, then, and a shot on the Bellonci Foundation. It would be the first time in more than 70 years that the Strega has left this place. With the exception of one year, 2016, when the Prize held its final at the Auditorium to celebrate its seventieth edition, even then with Pino Strabioli as the presenter, and whose winner was Edoardo Albinati.
