Mario Massa
Winner
A novel that can be read as a quiet look at a solitary figure and his distance from society. Even with limited bibliographic detail, it appears to trace the psychological shading of a single man's way of being with care.
To be alone becomes the outline of a life.

Stefano Pirandello
Winner
A novel that confronts the tension building inside a family and the suffocation created by a closed domestic space. Generational conflict and emotional mismatch pile up until they feel inseparable from the pressure of the house itself.
The wall of the house is also the invisible distance between family members.
