The cultural nourishment of Nivola’s childhood operates in Nivola like sap throughout the entire arc of his artistic production.

In some ways, it can be said that his art speaks Sardinian. The ethical references, the resonances and the intonations of his poetry are Sardinian, or at least traceable to the Mediterranean civilization in which the Sardinian culture is immersed. A handful of simple values​​, material and spiritual, whose eclipse is at the center of the moral crisis of our time, are offered by Nivola as an ancestral memory and together form a utopian proposal for a global cure.
