ABSTRACT In 1947, the Viareggio literary prize (Premio Viareggio) was awarded to Lettere dal carcere by Antonio Gramsci. This result - which certainly helped to make known to a broader public the communist leader - significantly interacted with local administrative choices, showed the tenacity of the founder of the prize Leonida Rèpaci, and at last came out according to the cultural policy set by Palmiro Togliatti in the post-war Italian Communist Party. The essay aims to shed light on this controversial and pivotal event wich was a turning point for Gramsci’s reception. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the event, the city of Viareggio, toghether with the Fondazione Gramsci (Rome) and the Istituto storico della Resistenza e dell’Età contemporanea in provincia di Lucca, sponsored and organized a conference entitled Antonio Gramsci tra letteratura e politica. Il Premio Viareggio alle Lettere dal carcere 70 anni dopo. This paper was originally presented at this conference and then published on «Filosofia italiana», XIII (2018), 2, pages 245-265.
