In June 2019 takes place the 35th edition of Ernest Hemingway Prize in Lignano Sabbiadoro. The Hemingway Prize is an important literary event created in honor of the writer who found in Lignano and its lagoon the pleasant retreat in different periods of his life.
The author of the book "The old man and the sea" deeply loved Venice and through the lagoon he discovered the little peninsula of Friuli Venezia Giulia situated between Venice and Trieste. He loved to call it "Italian Florida".
