As is tradition, the first Thursday of July marked the awarding of the Premio Strega. The winner of the seventy-eighth edition is "L’età fragile" by Donatella Di Pietrantonio, who triumphed with 189 votes over other finalists, including Dario Voltolini and Chiara Valerio. "I want to promise that I will use my voice, both written and spoken, to defend the rights for which my generation of women has fought so hard, and which today I see are no longer taken for granted," said Donatella Di Pietrantonio in her first comment after receiving the symbolic Strega Liquor bottle award.
