Piazza Sebastiano Satta, Modernist square in Nuoro, Italy.

The square features granite paving stones arranged in a geometric pattern, complemented by natural granite blocks hosting bronze sculptures throughout the space.

The city commissioned sculptor Costantino Nivola in 1965 to transform the former Piazza Plebiscito into a memorial dedicated to Sardinian poet Sebastiano Satta.

Eight bronze figurines embedded within granite rocks from Mount Ortobene represent different aspects of the celebrated Sardinian poet's life and work.

The square connects the historic Santu Pedru district with the 19th-century area leading to the Santa Maria della Neve Cathedral.

Visitors must climb individual pedestals via steps to observe the bronze sculptures nestled within unaltered granite rocks from the local mountain.
