Regaining the center: the brilliant elements of this concept are found in the unique piazza created by Nivola, which the municipality of Nuoro dedicated to its most celebrated poet, Sebastiano Satta. It is a space much like an oasis set amidst the confusion of the city, suffocated, like all cities, by noise and traffic—an area of ​​important and innovative architecture. The granite boulders rise from the ground and create irregular spaces of encounter: they seem to repeat an ancient liturgy, a conversation and solidarity no longer heard. These monoliths recall ancestral times and deities, figures of strength and wisdom. The extraordinary effect the square gives is certainly due to the perfect integration of its elements in the totality of the landscape: raising one’s eyes, an outline of granite mountains joins with a powerful stylistic potency. But the message, even more profound and almost ascetic, brings back one’s thoughts to another way of life: that space positions itself as the symbolic core of contrast and orientation towards a communal dimension of city living.
