It was hastily cleaned up. Above all, from that same hand that had earlier disfigured her with powdered green dye.

This morning the Nuorese statue of Grazia Deledda, in the upper part of Corso Garibaldi, presented its usual appearance, the one wanted by the artist and creator Pietro Costa. The harsh words of Mayor Andrea Soddu, who had spoken of an "ignoble act and disfigurement of the entire city", did not even have time to reach the person responsible for the act of vandalism.

«The person who made this gesture immediately realized that he had made a mistake - says Soddu -. He apologized and immediately cleaned the statue."
