This publication collects the texts of the first three classified at the "Scena & poesia" national drama prize, organized by the Teatro delle Selve with the support of the Cariplo Foundation and the "Don Bernini" Cultural Center of Borgomanero: Niccolò Matcovich, Luca Paglia, Antonio Piccolo.

The success of participation and the quality of the works received show that theatrical writing is able to intercept diffused concerns and to accept the contradictions of our time.
