Italian Nobel Prize Winners
The Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded by the Swedish Academy. This prize is awarded annually in Stockholm, Sweden during a formal ceremony on December 10. Since 1901 there have been six winners of Italian descent of this prestigious award. Each recipient is listed below with the year they won the award and the reason they were chosen.
| Name | Year | Contribution |
| Giosuè Carducci | 1906 | "not only in consideration of his deep learning and critical research, but above all as a tribute to the creative energy, freshness of style, and lyrical force which characterize his poetic masterpieces" |
| Grazia Deledda | 1926 | "for her idealistically inspired writings which with plastic clarity picture the life on her native island and with depth and sympathy deal with human problems in general" |
| Luigi Pirandello | 1934 | "for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art" |
| Salvatore Quasimodo | 1959 | "for his lyrical poetry, which with classical fire expresses the tragic experience of life in our own times" |
| Eugenio Montale | 1975 | "for his distinctive poetry which, with great artistic sensitivity, has interpreted human values under the sign of an outlook on life with no illusions" |
| Dario Fò | 1997 | "who emulates the jesters of the Middle Ages in scourging authority and upholding the dignity of the downtrodden" |
