Founded in 1971 by Gianfranco Folena,[3][4][5] it was organized every year by the municipality of Monselice in collaboration with the University of Padua. The award ceremony usually took place at the Monselice Castle. The prize secretariat was located at the Municipal Library of Monselice.[2]

Two main prizes and three collateral prizes were awarded:[2]

  • "City of Monselice" Prize for Literary Translation
  • "City of Monselice" Prize for Scientific Translation (since 1980)
  • "Leone Traverso" First Work Prize – awarded to a young Italian translator for their first work, published in the last two years (since 1973)
  • International Prize "Diego Valeri" – dedicated to the translation of an Italian literature work into a foreign language (since 1979)
  • Didactic Prize "Vittorio Zambon" – in two versions, one reserved for middle school students in Monselice, the other for high school students in the province of Padua.

Notable winners include Fernanda Pivano,[6][7] Mary de Rachewiltz,[6][8] Giorgio Caproni,[6][9] William Weaver.[6]

The organization of the Prize ceased its operations in 2013.[10][11]
