Grazia Deledda’s Museum occupies the Sardinian writer’s childhood home at Via Grazia Deledda, 42, in Nuoro. Its rooms preserve the feel of a late 19th- and early 20th-century household, with a kitchen and storeroom arranged with food and objects from the period. Personal belongings, letters, documents and ethnographic items trace Deledda’s life and work; the Nobel Prize document is among the displays. It is a thoughtful stop for readers of her books and anyone interested in daily life in Nuoro during her era.
