Descriptions
The Viareggio Literary Prize is a prestigious Italian literary award, whose first edition was in 1930, and is named after the Tuscan city of Viareggio. It was conceived by three friends, Alberto Colantuoni, Carlo Salsa, and Leonida Repaci, to rival the Bagutta Prize, given in the city of Milan.
Il ‘Viareggio’ apre in Italia la stagione dei grandi Premi letterari del Novecento. Dopo il ‘Bagutta’, ideato da Orio Vergani nel 1926 tra le quattro mura di una trattoria milanese, il ‘Viareggio’ nasce in Versilia nel 1929 sulla spiaggia e “sotto un ombrellone” per iniziativa dei tre amici Leonida Rèpaci, Carlo Salsa e Alberto Colantuoni. L’eletta compagnia accoglie poi Primo Conti e Gian Capo, con l’intenzione di sottrarre il Premio al chiuso dei cenacoli e di aprirlo en plein air alla libera circolazione delle idee nella società letteraria italiana. Viareggio fu scelta perché “noi fondatori intendemmo contraccambiare la bella spiaggia di quell’amore che aveva saputo accendere nel fondo di noi, da quando avevamo associato il suo nome a quello di Shelley, il ricordo di un tonfo di risacca al crepitio del rogo col quale un Poeta ritornava, dio immortale, ai puri spazi da cui era disceso per scolpire la statua di Prometeo, finalmente liberato dalle potenze e dalle presenze del Male” (Rèpaci). (Italian, Member-written)
