Italian Book Capital 2027 selection process
Overview
The Italian Ministry of Culture has announced the finalists for the ‘Capitale Italiana del Libro 2027’ (Italian Book Capital 2027).
Initial announcements identified Pomigliano d’Arco as a finalist with its ‘Città officina del leggere’ (Workshop City of Reading) project, which aims to use books for urban regeneration and social inclusion. Subsequent reports confirmed that Sardinian cities Nuoro and Iglesias are also among the finalists. Nuoro’s candidacy, ‘Nuoro: radici di carta, visioni di futuro’, emphasizes its literary tradition, while Iglesias’s project, ‘Iglesias – Il libro nel Mediterraneo’, focuses on identity and historical memory.
To determine the winner, the selected municipalities will participate in public hearings before a ministerial jury in Rome, scheduled for late September 2026.
