Premio Malaparte
The Premio Malaparte is an Italian literary award given annually to an international writer. It was created in 1983 by, Alberto Moravia and the association Amici di Capri. It is named after the writer and journalist Curzio Malaparte and the prize ceremony is held on Capri. The prize became dormant in 1998 but was reactivated in 2012 after efforts from Gabriella Buontempo, general secretary of the association Incontri Internazionali d'Arte.
The award is considered one of Italy's highest honors for foreign writers and is known for celebrating an "aesthetic sensibility allied with the spirit and role of the island of Capri." Notable winners have included Nobel laureates and international figures such as Saul Bellow, Nadine Gordimer, Susan Sontag, and Han Kang.
