In summer 1994, a poll promoted by the newspaper Avvenire revealed that Corti was the most popular Christian writer in Italy.
On 18 December 2009, the Province of Milano awarded Corti the prestigious Prize Isimbardi, for citizens and associations promoting worthy initiatives in favour of the Milan community.
On 22 April 2010, in Monza, Corti received one of the special prizes of the "BtoB Awards - Dale Carnegie Training", an event arranged by the Best to Brianza magazine and sponsored by the Italian branch of Dale Carnegie Italia with support from the council of the Province of Monza and Brianza.
In March 2010, ACIEC (Associazione Culturale Internazionale Eugenio Corti), founded in his honor, started a petition through its website.
The aim of the petition is to compel the Swedish Academy to make Corti a candidate for the Nobel Prize for literature.
