"... Only the sea grumbled to him the usual story, down there, in the middle of the stacks, because the sea has no country either, and it belongs to all those who listen to it, on this side and that side, where the sun rises and dies ..."  

Giovanni Verga, I Malavoglia

The 'Il Delfino' National Prize for Fiction and Non-Fiction is organised by the Pro Loco Litorale Pisano and takes its inspiration from the personalities of Italian culture that the Litoral of Pisa has hosted and who have taken inspiration from it for their works: outstanding figures of literature such as Gabriele d'Annunzio, painters and graphic designers such as Giuseppe Viviani, and protagonists of Italian cinema such as Giovacchino Forzano.  

The closing ceremony will be held on Saturday 8 October 2022 at 5 p.m. at the Grand Hotel Golf in Tirrenia, Via dell'Edera 29. 

Speakers will include the authorities, the members of the jury, the organisations and associations promoting the "Marenia - Non solo mare" - Summer 2022 programme and the members of the Tuscan Literary Prize Committee, representatives of the press and all the participants and publishers (selected and not) will be invited.
