Famous Italians and Italians

Italians who became Nobel Prize winners

From year to year, scientists and cultural figures of Italy more and more often fall into the headlines of international publishers: they will invent something new and amazing, or they will portray something amazingly beautiful. Fortunately, as a rule, the works and merits of the most ingenious Italians are encouraged.

And direct evidence of this is an impressive list of writers, poets, astronomers, biologists, physicists, as well as representatives of other professions, which have become absolutely deserved Nobel Prize winners. To date, the 20 most distinguished Italians in the world arena of science and culture have been awarded this honorary title. And here are the three most prominent of them:

Daniel Bovet

This talented Italian pharmacologist of Swiss origin was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1957. Beauvais devoted most of his professional activity to the study of allergies and human physiology.

Daniel was particularly interested in researching the effects of the couare, a substance used by some Indian tribes to process arrowheads.

The quire consisted of the juice of tropical plants and paralyzed the archer's victim for a while. Having thoroughly studied all the features of the action of an amazing substance, Beauvais concluded that it could be used in surgical interventions to relieve muscle cramps. At that time, such an effect could be achieved only with huge doses of anesthesia, which had an extremely negative effect on the patient's health.

For several years, the scientist created several hundred variants of a substance that allows you to control muscle contraction, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize.

Grazia Deledda

 As a child, little Graphia was very fond of reading, and she particularly preferred Russian writers. And already at the age of 8, the baby began to write her own stories based on the folklore of the place where she lived and the legends that adults generously shared with her. Her first publication, Flower of Sardinia, was favorably received by critics, and Gracia's work Honest Souls was soon translated into French and received a lot of positive reviews. Almost all of Deledd’s work is dedicated to her beloved and native region of Sardinia (Sardegna), which she always spoke of with warmth.

In 1926, Grace was awarded the Nobel Prize for her amazingly colorful poetic works, which comprehensively describes the life of her native island of Sardinia, as well as her approach to the problems described in the works.

Riccardo Giacconi

The physicist and astrologer was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2002 for his invaluable contribution to astrophysics.

It was Giacconi who became the scientist who managed to discover the X-ray radiation of the Sun, launch a rocket into the near-Earth space, which lasted there for more than five minutes.

However, the talented researcher did not think to stop there. He closely engaged in the construction of a satellite for x-ray astronomy, which discovered in space several hundred new objects, which were later called "black holes". After some time, Giacconi was in a group of scientists involved in the construction huge Hubble telescope.

Modern researchers still consider Riccardo Giacconi the founder of a new science - X-ray astronomy.

Obviously, the country is famous not only for its cultural and historical values, rich history and achievements on the world stage. The main wealth of each state is the people living in it. And beautiful Italy definitely has someone to be proud of.
