Great excitement for the 'La Quercia' residence in Borgo D'Ale: in its thirteenth year, the 'Mario Barale' literary competition wished to recognise the residence's young guests with an out-of-competition prize for taking part in the literary competition that involved aspiring poets from all over Italy and of all ages, school pupils, children and adults.

"Stimulating our guests' creativity, concentration and memory is one of the main objectives of the busy calendar of initiatives that the residence has been organising for a long time: music and reading activities are the ones most appreciated by the guests. We would like to thank the jury and the competition organisers for the special prize. Thank you, above all, to our young guests for the literary enthusiasm they demonstrated," said Giulia Rubinato, the director of the residence.
