Pontremoli Premio Bancarella
Pontremoli every summer acts as godmother at the Bancarella.
The birth of the Bancarella Prize is due to the tradition of the Pontremolesi Booksellers, a particular and unique phenomenon in Italy. From the high Lunigiana, a land of great emigration, from the villages of Montereggio, Parana, Pozzo, Mulazzo, Busatica, Filattiera, Bratto, are generated lots and generations of itinerant booksellers. Many of the bookshops in the north and central Italy have been opened and, in part, are still managed by the Pontremolesi. The Bancarella Award stems from this tradition that characterizes the history of the Lunigiana emigration. In August 1952 the first gathering of booksellers in Pontremolesi. This is how the Bancarella Award was created, the only literary prize managed exclusively by the booksellers.
