At the top of Monte ORTOBENE, hikers will not find a classic summit cross, as is the case with many mountain ridges. Instead, there is a statue of the "Christo Redentore". Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer, appears to be floating above the mountain as the resurrected one, as his feet no longer touch the ground. The cross held in one hand is therefore no longer a sign of death, but has become a symbol of the overcoming of sin and death.
The artist of the statue has succeeded in portraying this Christian belief in a relaxed elegance.

It is an ancient granite hill above the city of Nuoro.
955 m above sea level houses, at the top, a large bronze statue of the Redeemer, the work of the sculptor Vincenzo Jerace.

«No, it is not true that the Ortobene can be compared to other mountains; Ortobene is only one in the whole world: he is our heart, he is our soul, our character, everything that is great and small, sweet and hard and sour and painful in us.

Cit. (Letter from Grazia Deledda (Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926) to Salvator Ruju, Nuoro, 5 September 1905)
