Literary festivals in Sicily

Overview

In late August 2026, the Zabook festival, ‘Il borgo che legge’, held in Sambuca di Sicilia, featured book presentations by journalists Marco Galluzzo and Gaetano Savatteri. Galluzzo presented a biography of Silvio Berlusconi, while Savatteri discussed Sicilian identity.

By late September, the literary season in Sicily continued with the eighth edition of Etnabook, an international festival held in Catania and surrounding municipalities under the theme ‘Collega-menti’. Simultaneously, the inaugural Zabook literary review concluded in Sambuca di Sicilia with the presentation of the Zabook 2026 Prize to Alaa Faraj and Alessandra Sciurba for their book ‘Perché ero un ragazzo’. The event included a closing ceremony at the Teatro Saraceni and the unveiling of a mural by artist Florinda Cerrito.
