Antonia Murgo, Miss Dicembre e il Clan di Luna (Miss December and the Moon Clan), (Bompiani) 

With Miss December and the Moon Clan Antonia Murgo has written a story that entertains and surprises. References to the tradition of children's literature, from the bogeyman to the circus to children in the care of governesses, are treated with freshness and awareness. The precise language evokes images that are able to amaze. Antonia Murgo's is a debut that the scientific committee of the Strega Prize Ragazze e Ragazzi greets with joy.  

CATEGORY BEST NARRATIVE IN PICTURES

Peter Van den Ende, Il Viaggio (The Wanderer), (Terre di mezzo)

TheWanderer is a wordless book dominated by black, a visual journey that demands slowness, attention, patience, inviting the gaze to pause and offering wonder and thought in return. Hyper-realistically visionary marine environments and surprising encounters that are not immediately decipherable offer the reader an opportunity for enjoyment in the sign of vision, but also valuable clues for reasoning about the relationship between man and the environment, the present and the future.
