Viareggio Prize (Premio Viareggio / Premio Letterario Viareggio-Rèpaci)
Arco di Luminara
Set in a quiet bourgeois family in postwar Italy, the novel follows summers spent at a house near Mount Etna and everyday life in Rome, tracing memory and generational continuity. Subtle dialogue and a light ironic tone give the family's inward life a finely layered shape.
Work Information
The memory of summers near Mount Etna settles gradually into the family's conversations.
Arco di luminara is a work in which Luisa Adorno draws postwar Italian life and memory from within the family sphere she often returned to. As Sellerio's description suggests, the summers spent at the house near Mount Etna become knots of habit and feeling that bind generations together, leaving a strong sense of lived experience inside a calm narrative voice.
