Premio Gregor von Rezzori

The Premio Gregor von Rezzori (Gregor von Rezzori Award) is a literary prize awarded at the annual Festival degli Scrittori in Florence. The award was established in 2007 in honor of Gregor von Rezzori, a Mitteleuropean writer, author of novels and memoirs. It was originally held at the Vallombrosa Abbey, southeast of Florence. In 2010, it moved to the city of Florence, becoming the fulcrum of the Writers' Festival. The award is assigned by an international jury to the best work of foreign fiction translated in Italy and published in the year preceding the awarding of the prize.^[1]
