The guitar player depicted here represents the Italian singer-songwriter Fabrizio de André who in one of his most famous songs, "Preghiera in Gennaio", sings about another artist, Luigi Tenco, a young Genoese singer like him, who committed suicide.

The statue of the Redeemer is a bronze work placed on a peak of Mount Ortobene near Nuoro, at a height of 925 metres above sea level.

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.

The small campsite directly behind the hotel in the dark forest is very rudimentary and can only be recommended to a limited extent. It seems to be run rather reluctantly (it is not advertised anywhere). The hotel itself is upscale and well attended, especially at weekends. Hikers can park in front of the hotel grounds.

From 1903 to 1917 there was a bloody family feud (disamistade) in Orgosolo. According to tradition, the trigger was the dispute over the inheritance of the richest Orgolese, Diego Moro, who died in 1903. The feud divided the population into two hostile halves and in these years more than 50 people fell victim to the blood feud. After reconciliation seemed to have been achieved through trials in 1917, the disamistade broke out again after about 30 years. The threat of blood revenge, but also the occupation by the Carabinieri and the arbitrary arrests of the “mainland” authorities once again drove men to hide in the mountains and thus often become bandits. They were usually assured of support from the village population against the hated carabinieri. Orgosolo was declared a “bandits’ nest”. “The headquarters of the outlaws, where people suck in hatred with their mother’s milk” was written in Italian newspapers.

In 1894, 500 armed Orgolese stormed and plundered the town of Tortolì in order to steal the assets of a large landowner; many of them died in the process. The raids by Sardinian mountain dwellers known as Bardanas are documented from Roman times to the 19th century.

In the resistance against the numerous conquerors of Sardinia, a bandit culture was formed, which also became the subject of criminological studies in the 19th century. Alfredo Niceforo, a follower of Cesare Lombroso, created the myth in his book Crime in Sardinia that Sardinians were predestined for crime.
