  • Esperanta PEN-Centro was founded on November 27th, 1991 by Perla Martinelli, István Nemere and Giorgio Silfer. The forth member was Gaston Waringhien (1901-1991), the greatest lexicographer of Esperanto, after the initiator of this language: Ludwik Zamenhof.
  • On September 10th, 1993 the Centre was accepted into the great PEN family at the World Congress of Santiago de Compostela, thus Esperanto was officialy recognised as a literary language.
  • The Esperanto Centre is very active, regulary participating in congresses, conferences and its work in comittees. Its main contributions are within the framework of the Committee for Translations and Linguistic Rights, where the Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights was conceived.
  • The Centre also participates in literary festivals, where from Mantua 1996 to WALTIC in Stockholm, 2008, it represents the Esperanto literature.
  • Amongst other things the Esperanto PEN-Centro also organised eg an itinerant exposition and other projects. Every year it proposes its chosen candidate for the Nobel Prize (William Auld till his death in 2006, now Marjorie Boulton).
