'La Fortuna' Literary Prize

On 4 July 2026 at 9:30 pm, the courtyard of Palazzo Avati in Polistena will host the ceremony for the 'La Fortuna' Literary Prize – City of Polistena, now in its fourth edition.

This event stands out on the national scene for its vision: it recognises not only individual works, but the entire regional publishing sector, highlighting the role of publishing houses play in creating and disseminating culture.

The award serves as a veritable observatory of the Calabrian publishing industry, shedding light on the scouting, editing and planning work that underpins the creation of books. At the same time, it provides a national showcase for a sector that is often overlooked but central to the region’s cultural identity.

Today, 'La Fortuna' is a landmark event for both those who love reading and those who help to produce books, transforming Polistena into a meeting place for publishers, authors and the community.
