The Prix mondial Cino Del Duca (Cino Del Duca World Prize) is an international literary award from France. With an award amount of Template:Currency, it is among the richest literary prizes.[1]

Origins and operations

It was established in 1969 in France by French businesswoman Simone Del Duca (1912–2004) to continue the work of her Italian-born French husband, publishing magnate Cino Del Duca (1899–1967).

The award recognizes an author whose work constitutes, in a scientific or literary form, a message of modern humanism. The award's prize has been valued as high as 300,000 over the years; in 2016 it was 200,000.[2] [3]

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 award. Following her death in 2004, the foundation was placed under the auspices of the Institut de France.
