"The Viareggio-R\u00E8paci Literary Prize (in Italian: Premio Letterario Viareggio-R\u00E8paci) is a prestigious Italian literary award, whose first edition was in 1930, and is named after the Tuscan city of Viareggio. It was conceived by three friends, Alberto Colantuoni, Carlo Salsa, and Leonida R\u00E8paci, to rival the Bagutta Prize, given in the city of Milan."@en .
