Grazia Deledda (1871 to 1936) was an Italian writer awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926 for writing the Nobel committee described as idealistically inspired, portraying with plastic clarity the life of her native Sardinia and treating human problems generally with depth and sympathy. She was the first Italian woman to receive the prize and only the second woman of any nationality to win it, after Selma Lagerlof in 1909.
