NIAF Sonia Raiziss Giop<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> Grant in Translating<br />
—<br />
Sonia Raiziss Giop, a German native, was a celebrated writer, poet<br />
and magazine editor. Through her bequest and creation of the<br />
Sonia Raiziss Giop Charitable <strong>Foundation</strong>, NIAF is able to help<br />
fund poetry translation efforts in order to continue to share literary<br />
works across cultural boundaries, including <strong>Italian</strong> literature and poetry.<br />
The Giop <strong>Foundation</strong> also provides an annual fellowship with residency to the<br />
<strong>American</strong> Academy in Rome for the winner of the Poetry Prize Raiziss/de Palchi for<br />
translating works of <strong>Italian</strong> poetry into English. The Raiziss/de Palchi Poetry Prize<br />
recognizes the translated and published work of an <strong>Italian</strong> poet. NIAF manages the<br />
awarding of the Sonia Raiziss Giop <strong>Foundation</strong> Grants.<br />
