The Capri Awards Foundation, a cultural institution dedicated to the celebration of international poetry, EPT Neaples and Regione Campania Assessorato al Turismo organize every year a festival.
2009 edition will honor Rita Dove and Robert Pinsky.
This year's festival is also dedicated to women-martyrs, and Neda -the girl killed during Tehran massacre- in particular. A poem, written by Iranian twitters, will be read [in Italian: "Resta qua, Neda, guarda la città/ nelle fondamenta scosse dei palazzi/ all`altezza degli alberi di acero./ Loro ci chiamano polvere,/ se è così lascia/ che noi sporchiamo l`aria/ e l`oppressore./ Non andartene, Neda”]
The Festival's Director, Claudio Angelini, who recently ended a 4-year term as director of the Italian Cultural Institute of New York, said that Rita Dove has written several poems about women's condition.
Many Italian poets will be present at Capri's Festival. Among them, Maria Luisa Spaziani, Sergio Zavoli, Roberto Mussapi, Corrado Calabrò Giorgio Weiss, Loretto Rafanelli, Renato Minore, Andrea Di Consoli.
Marco Nereo Rotelli will present the video “Save the poetry” with Edoardo Sanguineti's voice.
