Nobel Prize winner Luigi Pirandello was born in Sicily’s Girgenti in the year 1867. Pirandello was a dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer, but his greatest achievement is in his plays. He wrote many dramas, which were published, between 1918 and 1935, under the collective title of Maschere nude. In the year 1934, he got a Nobel Prize in Literature for "his almost magical power to turn psychological analysis into good theatre.”
