Hello hivers, an happy Thursday to you all! Another hot hot day here and so, like I wrote before, during these days I go outsize just soon in the morning and later in the afternoon. Yesterday there was a very interesting meeting here in my city (Pistoia, Italy) and I didn't want to miss it. Fortunately it was at the 7 PM, when the temperature was not so hot like hours before and so, with my hubby @paolobeneforti and my friend Elena we went there. It was a stage tour of an important italian literary prize called Premio Campiello and 4 of the five finalists of the prize talked about their books to the citizen in a corner of the garden of a museum not so far from my home. ![DSCN0857.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EpT3JhiMtipi6ZbE2jZkpzjbfFSpMkwkWBrkoxPo8Qcccmvg4Lq4rTEfJaP7nN5Bp2s.JPG) ![DSCN0835.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EpT4fT79wdqSxLoA9d3NzxSLXQ7Nd8Ytmge1gS7RzJNCmzKXmYThVgpCoETWAxNZAji.JPG) The Campiello Literary Prize is an annual Italian literary prize and a jury of different literary experts selects 5 books between all the books published during that year and, in a public hearing, selects five of those as finalists. These 5 books are the finalists and after this step a jury of 300 readers from every region of Italy decides the winner. These year the finalist was the italian writers Marcello Fois, Ermanno Cavazzoni, Elena Varvello, Valeria Parrella and Alcide Pierantozzi. We know very well Ermanno Cavazzoni thanks the time we worked in the book shop and we are so happy to know his book is one of the finalists of the Campiello Prize! During the meeting I took some pics to share with you: ![DSCN0827.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/Ep3epmFecGpmPwPf8qboiL5a7T4jQz8rQfiqspTTbYrSauu8sua26RrLtNuLH1MxuxN.JPG) A pic of Ermanno Cavazzoni: ![DSCN0836.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/23zSDdbPsouYSC1QQzMbUudSxqT4VnAcz6L9ZN3fjGcFyKfZppcj5SUcAwaDUMgJyw2tu.JPG) ![DSCN0845.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EqFuSWCMw2dfcTib8rPRCz3EDzZq8xHR6S9sseYGigrvgtLQnkoZGWCCtSezXULnPdA.JPG) A pic of Simone Innocenti, a writer and a journalist who talked with the finalists: ![DSCN0855.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EoK6nB3V4jWQocVT18XjTA7gqKt8ymgzEH8HxRZ96Ni6mFL1ZMmoK6syts5tEfn4Vat.JPG) Valeria Parrella: ![DSCN0859.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EqDk1n3WUz4bzhaMyFwkXaspFYXDzNrQCDd7EJ5dTBC4arsPrTNJaAzLiaNN7EqynP5.JPG) Marcello Fois: ![DSCN0860.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EpVB7BNFy52BcJEqknB1kUuF94vGC8JFHSXRiRaEpC7D223ZgBdzQd3WTgF1JkyKbP6.JPG) Now I have to run to work with my colors and brushes! ❤️ See ya soon and stay safe, Silvia
