  • Italian Nobel Prize in Literature Winners

    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.

    NameYearContribution
    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"

    Patrick Modiano 2014 "for the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human destinies and uncovered the life-world of the occupation"
