The Orgosolo mural (Sardinian: murales) is the mural painted in Orgosolo Province of Nuoro, in Sardinia, Italy. It is being investigated based on its historical and sociological importance and is now a source of pride for the local people. The murales are a form of public art, often used to express political views, and have been painted since the late 1960s. The murals depict stories from the local tradition as well as more contemporary themes, including political and social issues.
