In the hinterland of the famous tourist resort Dorgali, Orgosolo is completely hidden in the middle of the nature, in a hilly, mountainous area.
The city is famous for its murals that are seen throughout the city. These murals usually have political content, or often explain the problems of local shepherds and farmers. From the 1970s they began with the realization of the wall paintings, after the revolution of Pratobello, where the Italian military was rejected. In addition, the city is the birthplace of Mesina, the most famous bandit of the 60-70s.
When I visited this city, to be honest, I was a bit scared. There are many stories about Orgosolo, including among other things, that this is not the typical tourist city. Our guide also explained to us that it is better to leave the inhabitants alone, and not to behave too much trouble. So we took a walk down the main road, took some pictures and continued our journey.
Near the civic park, where we got on board the bus, we saw the elderly gentlemen playing bowls. They smiled at us and they didn't even look a little upset!
