The Premio Brancati Zafferana, more concisely known as the Premio Brancati, is a literary prize named in memory of the Italian writer Vitaliano Brancati.[1]

Background

The Premio Brancati was launched in 1967.[1] Originally a single award, the prize has been given since 1996 in the categories of narrative fiction, non-fiction, poetry,[1][2] and, since 2015, emerging young writer.[3] The winners in each category are announced over the course of several days at a convention held in September every year in Zafferana Etnea in Sicily, Italy, where Brancati customarily spent part of each year[2][4] and where one of his novels, Paolo il caldo, was set.[1]
