The Voice That Captivated Italy

Every year, a book manages to stand out among all the others, winning the most prestigious recognition of Italian fiction. Just a few weeks before the awarding of the Premio Strega 2026, Cortina d'Ampezzo hosts an exceptional event: the meeting with the writer who has been able to tell our time with a voice destined to leave a mark.

Thanks to the established bond between Una Montagna di Libri and the Premio Strega, the audience will be able to listen live to the protagonist of the 2026 edition, in a dialogue that goes beyond the winning novel to explore the craft of writing, the power of stories, and the role of literature in contemporary society.

It will be a unique opportunity to enter the heart of the winning work, to learn about the creative journey of its author, and to share emotions, reflections, and questions in a meeting that celebrates the power of the written word.

An event that renews the bond between Cortina and great Italian culture, transforming the mountain into a privileged place where ideas meet, books come to life, and literature continues to narrate the present and imagine the future.
