Strega Prize
BPER Banca is the main sponsor of the Strega Prize.

A story we write year after year.

Since 2015 BPER has accompanied and promoted the Premio Strega, the most important national literary prize promoted by the Maria and Goffredo Bellonci Foundation and Liquore Strega, with the contribution of the Rome Chamber of Commerce. This partnership is part of the commitment that as a Bank we have been making for years to promote culture, and reading in particular, as a social good that brings growth and development.

The Strega Prize sculpture: the ideas competition

The call for entries, which involves students from the Italian State Fine Arts Academies, was created to bring the worlds of art and literature closer together. The competition calls for the design and realisation of a sculptural artefact with references to culture, writing, reading and the prize. 
The winning work constitutes the BPER Prize to the finalist authors of the Premio Strega.
