the Italian communities outside Italy, e.g., in

John Di Ciacca Postdoctoral Fellowship). Stage 2.
Stage 2 of the competition, Other Media, is open
to the Finalists only. Submissions may consist in

urgency and cultural hybridity of the early 20th
Century – Gadda’s time –, the combined Stages 1 & 2

based on the Junior Submissions at the Awards Events
and Ceremony. http://www.gaddaprize.ed.ac.uk/prizes/prizes2012/prize4.2012.php
