Ceremony of 15th edition of the Guido Gozzano Meleto Award held in Italy
Turin, Italy
The award ceremony for the 15th edition of Il Meleto Di Guido Gozzano Ppoetry Contest was held in the stately Villa di Guido Gozzano in Agliè (Turin) on Saturday, September 13, 2025.
The award dates back to 2011 and was created by Lilita Conrieri.
As every year, historical groups in period costume paraded through the Meleto garden and appeared on the balcony surrounded by wisteria in Art Nouveau style.
Laura Di Muro and her Principi Dal Pozzo Della Cisterna Association were the guests of honor.
The actors of the Compagnia del Teatro Instabile delle gambe sotto il tavolo staged a show paying tribute to Guido Gozzano the Poet of the sweet country.
This was followed by the actual award ceremony for Italian and foreign schools and authors, as reported on the website.
Lidia Chiarelli’s installation “Poetry and Art” was placed in the Meleto Garden, featuring small works of art and poems by authors from all over the world, while artist Gianpiero Actis exhibited some of his paintings.
It was a day dedicated to BEAUTY expressed through poetry, art, and culture.
Thinking of Prince Myshkin, created by Dostoevsky, a question instinctively arises: can beauty really save the world?
Perhaps not, but it can certainly make a difference.
