Last night at the Palanoir saw the beginning of the awards ceremonies that will accompany the Festival through to Saturday night’s presentation of the Black Lion and other film awards. The Giorgio Scerbanenco and Tedeschi prizes were awarded in anticipation of the Raymond Chandler Award, which will be given to Leonardo Padura Fuentes tomorrow night.
The Literature Jury – comprising Lia Volpatti, Sebastiano Triulzi, John Vignola, Cecilia Scerbanenco, Carlo Oliva, Gianfranco Orsi Loredana Lipperini, Valerio Calzolaio and Sergio Pent – gave the 2009 Giorgio Scerbanenco Prize to the novel Morte a Firenze: Un’Indagine del Commissario Bordelli by Marco Vichi. Their motivation read: “For having constructed a large-scale story of civic commitment that is both bitter and woeful. And for having infused his characters with depth and human complexity, with clean and efficient writing.”
The jury also gave a Special Mention to Elisabetta Bucciarelli’s Io Ti Perdono “for the originality of the writing and its psychological analysis.”
For his novel Legame di Sangue, Roberto Riccardi won the 2009 Tedeschi Prize, given by publisher Il Giallo Mondadori to the best unpublished crime novel of the year. Their motivation read: “For having explored clearly and flawlessly the double valence of the mystery and the police procedural in an area that continues to be socially crucial and politically controversial: the fight against organized crime. For the conception of the characters, saturated with light and shadows, and for the structure of a interwoven plot that is simultaneously veiled and complex but always entirely respectful of great crime fiction.”
