The “wide and pure horizons” Grazia Deledda narrates them in her most identifying writing, that poem with an evocative title like few others: “ We are Sardinians ”. Those words of hers, engraved in the Olympus of the Nobel Prize, evoke as a universal testament the exclusive charm of that gaze placed beyond the Gennargentu, towards the crystalline waters of the eastern coast of Sardinia, those that climb from Siniscola towards Olbia.
"We are Sardinians"
Deledda writes: « We are the uninterrupted kingdom of the mastic tree, of the waves that flow from ancient granites, of dog rose, of the wind, of the immensity of the sea. We are an ancient land of long silences, of wide and pure horizons, of dark plants, of mountains burned by the sun and by revenge. We are Sardinians ». It is precisely that " immensity of the sea " of Deleddian memory that now resurfaces in the administrative procedure of "concession" of that stretch of sea to the lords of the wind, those lowered to Sardinian land, to drive an infinite expanse of steel skyscrapers in that sea, an integral and essential part of the landscape of an island as exclusive as it is "identity".
The nine associations
To recall those stories are nine associations, representative of the world of culture, sport and tourism, most of them from Nuoro, who have decided not to stand and look at that nefarious assault on the landscape and on the infinite horizon of the Sardinian sea, same narrated by the absolute emblem of universal literature. The opposition-observation protocols are "Orthoben Be Onlus" from Nuoro, "The Island of Stories" from Gavoi, led by the Sardinian writer Marcello Fois, "Protec Sardina" from Cala Gonone, "Bikin Gavoi", "Tri Nuoro" , "Argonauta" from Cala Gonone, "Diemanos" from Nuoro, "The Amazons" from Mamoiada and "Gaia Oceania" from Castelsardo. Ten pages of punctual and no-frills analysis, with an explicit reference to the substantial and dirimental issues of that offshore wind farm which plans to raise the beauty of 65 wind turbines ready to soar above the sea, in front of the Nuorese coast, up to Gallura. almost three hundred meters of "altitude" in the middle of the marine horizon. The associations, in the deed filed with the Olbia Harbor Master's Office, go to the point: "The landscape would suffer an imposing effect even in the surrounding mountain areas, in fact the visual impact from nearby Supramonte, Montalbo, Monte Ortobene would be remarkable and the panorama admirably described by our fellow Nobel laureate Grazia Deledda, who admired the sea from her “Monte”, would be irremediably compromised ». A call as strong as it is based on technical evaluations that disassemble at the root those bizarre and biased representations of the lords of the wind who try in every way to make these gigantic constructions in the middle of the sea appear as "non-invasive".
