The square-monument is located in the center of Nuoro between Corso Garibaldi and the Santu Prédu district and stands in place of the old Plebiscito Square.
The idea of using this space to honor the vate of Sardinia came from the Committee for the Honoring of Sebastiano Satta, which thought of entrusting the task to sculptor Costantino Nivola (1911-1988). It was only after studying and understanding the poet’s true personality that Nivola began to make a series of sketches and chose the minimalist route with the insertion of small bronze representations in giant granite boulders from Mount Ortobene. The square is irregular in shape and paved with small, square white granite stones, from which benches seem to emerge formed from regular parallelepipeds of the same material. The symbolic indications emerging from the square seem to refer to Sardinian culture, anthropological and archaic.
