Grazia Deledda (1871 – 1936), also known in Sardinian language as Gràssia or Gràtzia Deledda, was an Italian writer who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926 "for her idealistically inspired writings which with plastic clarity picture the life on her native island [i.e. Sardinia] and with depth and sympathy deal with human problems in general". She was the first Italian woman to receive the prize, and only the second woman in general after Selma Lagerlöf was awarded hers in 1909.

Actually, the Italian pronunciation would be more along the lines of:
Graht-ZEE-Ah
Roll your "R"s. As always, "A"s are as in "Father." "Z" almost like a "T", but there is still an obvious "Z" being said (close to "Pizza," I suppose). Stress "I" into "EE." In Italian it is important to remember that you pronounce every letter, not mix them up as "tsyah." It may sound similar to that when spoken rapidly, I admit, but there is emphasis and definition to be aware of.
