Svegliarsi adulti, vita di Sandro Delmastro partigiano e amico di Primo Levi by Roberta Mori is the winning book of the 44th edition of the Gambrinus Mazzotti Literary Prize in the mountaineering category.

The Gambrinus Mazzotti award, founded in 1982, has established itself over the years as one of the most prestigious and authoritative events in the Italian cultural panorama, guided by the values ​​and historic civil battles led by Giuseppe Mazzotti: the protection of the landscape, respect for the environment and the passion for knowledge.

The event will begin at 3:30 PM with a reception for guests and participants, followed at 4:00 PM by the awards ceremony, which is open to the public.

The jury comprises seven distinguished figures from the worlds of culture, criticism, and literature: the President Alessandro Tasinato, Margherita Azzi Visentini, Giovanni Caprara, Riccarda De Eccher, Viviana Ferrario, Paola Virginia Gigliotti, and Patrizia Torricelli.

Here is the award citation: "Roberta Mori recounts the story of a multifaceted life, Sandro Delmastro's one, which can be summarized by a passion for the mountains and a character defined by both an intellectual nature and a drive for action. The author’s narrative unfolds around these themes, the result of an exploration of documents, letters, and photographs that attest to the richness of a figure remembered as a partisan leader in the Resistenza and a victim of Fascism."

On Friday, October 9, at 9:00 PM, the book will be presented at the CAI headquarters in San Polo di Piave (Treviso) as part of the "CAI Meets the Author" series.
