Premio Gregor von Rezzori

The Premio Gregor von Rezzori, in English Gregor von Rezzori Award, also known as the Premio Gregor von Rezzori-Città di Firenze, is a literary prize awarded at the annual Festival degli Scrittori (writers' festival) in Florence, Italy.

History
The Festival degli Scrittori and the Premio Gregor von Rezzori-Città di Firenze were established by the Santa Maddalena Foundation in 2007 in honor of Gregor von Rezzori, a Mitteleuropean writer, author of novels and memoirs. It was originally held at the Vallombrosa Abbey, southeast of Florence.

In 2010, it moved to the city of Florence, becoming the fulcrum of the writers' festival.
