In addition to the already announced Emmanuel Carrère, Antonio Marras and Mario Tozzi, the 2023 Costa Smeralda Award celebrates Valeria Parrella and Teresa Cremisi, who collected the awards for the Fiction sections tonight at the Conference Center in Porto Cervo, with the book "La fortuna", and Non-fiction, with "Chronicles of Disorder".

Parrella, author of a historical novel, defeated in the final Bruno Arpaia, journalist and translator, present with "But who are you", and Andrea Canobbio, also a journalist, who through a family case in "The night crossing" tells the Depression. Cremisi won out instead on Paola Italia with “Gaddabolario” and Benedetta Tobagi with “Women's Resistance”. As for Carrère, Tozzi and the Alghero designer Marras, the Costa Smeralda awarded them (in that order) the International Award, the Mediterranean Culture Award and the Special Award.

The stage of the literary prize organized and promoted by the Costa Smeralda Consortium, chaired by Renzo Persico with the artistic direction of Stefano Salis, thus once again offered the catwalk to some of the protagonists of Italian and international culture, identified by the jury chaired from Salis and formed by Lina Bolzoni, Marcello Fois, absent today for personal reasons, Elena Loewenthal and Chiara Valerio.

The evening was musically enlivened by the performance, much appreciated by the public, by Moses Concas, winner of Italia's Got Talent in 2016.
