Massimo Pittau – (Nuoro, 6 February 1921 – Sassari, 20 November 2019) was an Italian linguist and glottologist, a scholar of the Etruscan language, the Sardinian language, and proto-Sardinian. He published numerous studies on Nuragic civilisation and historical Sardinia. His positions regarding the Nuorese dialect (the most conservative within the Romance language family) are close to those of the linguist Max Leopold Wagner, with whom he maintained an epistolary relationship. In 1971 he joined the Italian Society of Glottology, and approximately 10 years later the Milanese Glottological Society. For his works he received numerous awards.
