Bagutta Prize

A caricature of Bagutta Prize ceremony

The Bagutta Prize is an Italian literary prize that is awarded annually to Italian writers. The prize originated among patrons of Milan's Bagutta Ristorante. The writer Riccardo Bacchelli discovered the restaurant and soon he regularly gathered numerous friends who would dine there together and discuss books. They began charging fines to the person who arrived last to an appointed meal, or who failed to appear.

At first, the funds so collected were spent on miscellaneous items, but on 11 November 1927, the group decided to use the funds to create a literary prize. They named it after the restaurant.

Other directors of the prize include Emilio Tadini, Mario Soldati and Isabella Bossi Fedrigotti.
