FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2014 F.G. BRESSANI LITERARY PRIZE WINNERS IN ALL CATEGORIES
Vancouver, BC CANADA
IL CENTRO Italian Cultural Centre is thrilled to announce the winners of the 2014 edition of the biennial F.G. Bressani Literary Prize. The Bressani Prize includes four literary categories: poetry, fiction, short fiction and Italian themed publications.
The Prize was created to stimulate and enhance the literary production of works by Canadian authors of Italian origin or ancestry, to add to the richness of the Italian immigrant experience in Canada by celebrating its literary expression, and to honour and reflect aspects of Italian heritage and culture within our ethno-culturally diverse society.
The Prize is named after the Jesuit priest, Father Francesco Giuseppe Bressani, (Rome, 1612 - Florence, 1672) the first Italian missionary to Canada. Father Bressani published a significant book (Breve Relatione, «Brief Relation») which is considered to be one of the first Italian-Canadian literary work.

Michael Mirolla, The House on 14th Avenue (category: poetry)
Darlene Madott, Stations of the Heart (category: fiction)
Eufemia Fantetti, Sweets (category: short fiction)
