Nugoro demonstrates however a particular devotion to jurisprudence, and one of its better writers, university professor Salvatore Satta, is at the same time famous for his civil procedural studies and books as well as for his literature’s masterpiece Il Giorno del Giudizio (translated in more than 90 languages) – see below.
Similarly, Dr. Mario Corda is one of the most important magistrates in Italy’s Supreme Court and his professional success is as notable as his studies in aesthetical philosophy or his books and novels (always regarding Sardinia and Nugoro in particular).
Grazia Deledda too, Nobel Prize for literature (1926), was born here and her works are about Nuoro or its district.
Recently (1975) described with superbly depictive scenarios in Salvatore Satta’s “Il Giorno del Giudizio”, Nugoro is still a rural town, with two main popular areas named “Seuna” (accent on “e”) and “San Pietro”.
The best preserved ethnic area of Sardinia (and perhaps of all Europe, as recently scientifically demonstrated by geneticists) is Barbagia, that belongs to Nuoro’s jurisdiction and defers to Nuoro for everything.
