The Strega European Prize (Italian: Premio Strega Europeo) is an annual literary award given to a novel in Italian translation by a European author who has received national recognition in their home country.[1] Established in 2014, it is administered—like the prestigious Strega Prize for Italian literature—by the Maria and Goffredo Bellonci Foundation and promoted in partnership with Strega Alberti Benevento and major organizations like the Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino and the Circolo dei Lettori Foundation.[2]
The award's primary criterion is that the five shortlisted works must have already received significant national recognition in their country of origin. The winner is traditionally announced and the prize awarded in Turin during the International Book Fair in May.[2] It honors a single European author, with recent winners including Paul Murray (2025) for his novel Il giorno dell'ape.[3]
