history
In 1975 a group of intellectuals and cultural officials founded the Fondazione Premio Mondello in Palermo with the aim of creating an Italian literary prize of international importance, the Premio Letterario Internazionale Mondello . Francesco Lentini, judge and intellectual who was chairman of the Fondazione until his death in 2000, played a key role in the constitution. Since then, the organization and financing have been under the umbrella of the Fondazione Sicilia (the former Fondazione Banco di Sicilia ), chaired by Giovanni Puglisi, who has been a member and juror of the Premio since its inception. Cooperation partners are the Fondazione Andrea Biondo and, since 2018, the Salone Internazionale del libro di Torino. The jurors included a. Niccolò Ammaniti , Andrea Bajani , Ernesto Ferrero , Paolo Giordano , Melania Mazzucco , Antonio Porta and Leonardo Sciascia , who himself received the special jury award in 1985.
