A
Cattedrale Santa Maria Della Neve
All that can be said of the cinnamon-coloured neoclassical façade of Nuoro's 19th-century cathedral is that it's big. Inside you can see a couple of mildly interesting works, including Disputa de Gesù Fra i Dottori (Jesus Arguing with the Doctors), a canvas attributed to the school of Luca Giordano and located between the first and second chapels on the right as you enter. Half the panels of the Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross) are by Giovanni Ciusa-Romagna.

B
Chiesa della Solitudine
Although she lived 36 of her 65 years in Rome, Nobel prize-winner Grazia Deledda's life was consumed by Nuoro and its essential dramas. Fittingly, she was brought home to be buried in the plain granite church of the Chiesa della Solitudine. You will find her granite sarcophagus to the right of the altar. On the eve of 28 August, the religious high point of Nuoro's Festa del Redentore, a solemn torchlight parade starts here at 21:00 and concludes at the cathedral.
