The jury<\/a> of Caff\u00e8 Letterario \u2013 presided over by Piero Dorfles (journalist and literary critic) \u2013 conferred the first prize to Marco Pulejo<\/strong> (engineer from Carrara) and his short story \u201cLa casa Americana\u201d (The American house<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Reason<\/strong>: a play of visible and invisible, construction and collapse, dead and alive, fate of places and individual choices, in which the author tells the story of a scam linked to a haunted house, which may be inhabited by ghosts. The echo of Edgar Allan Poe’s Gothic tradition arises with cynicism and irony in this disenchanted and dreamlike tale, revealing all the conflicts that leave a mark in our lives<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Second place for Vanes Ferlini<\/strong> with her unpublished work \u201cEl Golosito\u201d.<\/p>\n

Reason<\/strong>: a story that digs deep into the ambiguities of the past, with the aim of investigating the human soul dragged by the violence of history. In the wake of the renewed attention of the Nazi hierarchs\u2019 escape to South America, the author shows how impossible it is to cover up one’s identity<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n
