In Guasila everything is ready to begin the award ceremony days for the winners of the seventh edition of the literary festival, scheduled for 27-28-29 October. The Festival dell'Altrove literary competition, dedicated to the anthropologist and writer Giulio Angioni, was wanted and organized also for this 2023 edition, by the culture department of the Municipality of Guasila, in collaboration with the association Local Bodies for Cultural Activities and Entertainment.
The Giulio Angioni Literary Prize, this year in its seventh edition, was created by the will of the municipal administration of Guasila to convey cultural values and social inclusion and honor the memory of Giulio Angioni: anthropologist, university professor, screenwriter, writer and poet.
