The Nobel Prize is a set of annual international awards bestowed on "those who conferred the greatest benefit on humankind" in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace and Economic Sciences[nb 1],[1] instituted by Alfred Nobel's last will, which specified that a part of his fortune be used to create the prizes. Each laureate (recipient) receives a gold medal, a diploma and a sum of money, which is decided annually by the Nobel Foundation.[2] They are widely recognized as one of the most prestigious honours awarded in the aforementioned fields.[3]
First instituted in 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded to a total of 965 individuals and 27 organizations as of 2023[update].[4] Among them, 21 Italian nationals have been honored with the Nobel Prize.[5][6]

Two women received the award: Grazia Deledda in 1926, and Rita Levi-Montalcini in 1986.[7] The 21 prizes are distributed as follows: six for physics, literature, and medicine; one for chemistry, peace, and economic sciences.
