Nacque in Nuoro, the youngest of six children in a loving family. Giovanni Antonio, the father, was an imprenditor and a president, as well as an improvised poet and the mayor of Nuoro in 1892. Francesca Cambosu, the mother, was a devout Catholic who raised her children with extreme moral rigor. Following her attendance at elementary schools, Grazia Deledda was followed privately by a professor who was a guest of one of her parents and who taught her Italian, Latin, and French. The customs of the time did not permit girls to receive a comprehensive education beyond primary school and, in general, regular studies.

Following that, autodidatta approfondi gli studi letterari. Crucial for Grazia Deledda's lettering training in her early years as a writer was her friendship with sassarese writer, archivist, and storico dilettante Enrico Costa, who recognized her brilliance for the first time. Esordi began her career as a writer with a few stories published in the magazine L'ultima moda at a time when she was still attached to her poetical narrativa. Trevisani's 1890 publication, Nell'azzurro, can be considered his esordio work.

Still straddling the line between poetic and narrative expression, Paesaggi, published by Speirani in 1896, is one of the first works. In the year 1900, Madesani's sposo Palmiro Madesani, a member of the Ministry of Finance, is known in Cagliari; in October 1899, the scrittrice moves to Rome, and after the publication of Anime oneste (1895) and Il vecchio della montagna (1900), as well as collaborations on the riviste La Sardegna, Piccola rivista, and Nuova Antologia, the Elias Portolu publishes Cenere in 1904, L'edera in 1908, Sino al confine in 1911, Colombi e sparvieri in 1912, Canne al vento in 1913, L'incendio nell'oliveto in 1918, and Il Dio dei venti in 1922. Eleonora Duse portrayed Eleonora Cenere in the film Da Cenere.
