Grazia Deledda, Nobel Prize in Literature in 1926, wrote about Mount Ortobene:
"No, it's not true that the Ortobene can be compared to other mountains; there's only one Ortobene in the whole world: it's our heart, it's our soul, our character, everything big and small, kind and tough and rough and sorrowful in us."
