Raffaele Pellicciotta National Literary Award

The 21st edition of the Raffaele Pellicciotta National Literary Award, held in Perano (Chieti) in 2025, had as its central theme "Traditions and Flavors." The competition, free to enter and open to young people between 8 and 17 years old, adults, and schools, confirmed its historic sections: short story, poetry, dialect poetry, fairy tale, and video. The jury, composed of eleven cultural figures and chaired by Professor Antonio Di Santo, selected the winners who were awarded during the traditional ceremony in Piazza Umberto I, the heart of the Abruzzese village. The event confirmed its role as a key cultural appointment for the Chieti hinterland.
