Who won the young man
In the meantime, last night, Giacomo Bonato, 17 years old from Arquà Petrarca (Padua), won the 30th of the Edition of Campiello Giovani – competition reserved for young people between 15 and 21 years of age – with the story “Verso”, chosen by the jury of the writers, chaired by Giorgio Zanchini, among the five stories that arrived in the final, because “reconstructs the merchant life of Venice with the rhythm and historical competence of the of Lepanto “.
The genre of the historical story, reads the motivation, “is dominated by the seventeen year old Bonato with great profession, and thin references to current issues (the establishment of the Ghetto of Venice, the freedom of worship for Christians at the Ottomans, the influence in money war policy – banks and loans). The ending opens to the theme of desire, always unrealized: the war, for which the merchant Zorzi has provided Serenissima of wood for the galleys, it allows him to combine, as he has always dreamed of, Constantinople – but not to see it; for Bonato the literary evidence is not on the side of dreams, but of the fruitful life of his merchants of Venice, and history “.
