WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
In 2025, Dante Alighieri Society in Hong Kong became a literary presidium. Dante Alighieri literary presidia aim to promote contemporary Italian reading and literature in Italy and around the world. The centres work as place of aggregation for readers with both in-presence activities and online services.
Thanks to the agreement with the Bellonci Foundation which assigns a collective vote to the Dante Alighieri Society, active readers at the Literary Presidium can participate in the jury of the most important Italian literary award, Premio Strega.
