Nuoro

Capital of the province by 1926, Nuoro now has about 40,000 inhabitants. Mail to 552mt. above sea level, lies on a plateau dominated by Mount Ortobene, between valleys and Marreri Badde Manna and hills of St. Onofrio and Ugolio. Numerous archaeological findings show, as in the area, human settlements date back to very ancient times. The household has developed around the districts of Seuna and San Pietro, while the heart of the city has always been represented by C.rso Garibaldi (the old way Majore). In late 1800 and early 1900, the town experienced a period of great cultural and artistic so that was called the Athens Sarda. The scarce economic resources of the territory, largely mountainous and arid, have always been an obstacle for development. The agriculture and pastoralism are still practiced but to a much lesser degree than before. The economy of the city is well supported by the state uses, regional and municipal and other commercial activities.
