Prix mondial Cino Del Duca

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prix mondial Cino Del Duca (Cino Del Duca World Prize) is a major international literary award established in 1969 in France by Simone Del Duca (1912-2004) to continue the work of her late husband, publishing magnate Cino Del Duca (1899-1967). Designed to recognize and reward an author whose work constitutes, in a scientific or literary form, a message of modern humanism, the Prix mondial Cino Del Duca currently carries a 250,000 prize.

In 1975, Madame Del Luca established the Simone and Cino Del Duca Foundation for a variety of philanthropic purposes and it assumed responsibility for the Prix mondial. Following her death in 2004, the Foundation was placed under the auspices of the Institut de France.
