Up in the oldest part of town, the birthplace of Grazia Deledda (1871–1936) has been converted into this lovely little museum. The rooms, full of Deledda memorabilia, have been carefully restored to show what a well-to-do 19th-century Nuorese house actually looked like. Best of all is the material relating to her Nobel prize – a congratulatory telegram from the king of Italy and prize-giving ceremony photos which show her, proud and tiny, surrounded by a group of stiffly suited men.
There’s also a storeroom piled with sacks of wheat and legumes, an internal courtyard, and a large kitchen crammed with pots and pans.
