The festive Nuoro men's dress immortalized in the photographs dates back to the first half of the 20th century and is kept at the Nuoro Costume Museum.
The head is covered by sa berrita, the black cloth bag cap, about 70 cm long.
The shirt (on ghentone) is made of cotton canvas with a low collar closed by a pair of gold filigree buttons, with a central bezel in gold foil containing turquoise paste.
The jacket (on zipone) is made of red cloth covered with midnight blue velvet, with cracks in the sleeves that reveal the white of the shirt. Decorated on each sleeve of the jacket, a row of small silver filigree buttons inserted in buttonholes riveted by white thread embroidery. Above, on a zipone, there is an untanned lambskin vest (sas pedhes), with black and curly wool, characteristic of the more affluent classes.
Another characteristic element is the ribace black skirt (sas ragas), pleated at the waist and bordered in red. The cotton canvas pants are inserted inside the gaiters and puffed out. Called mesa cartzas, the gaiters wrap around the leg from calf to ankle, ending with an elongated part that covers the upper of the shoe. They are made of black orbace and have a thin red cloth border along the part that covers the shoe.
An accessory of great visual impact is the festive leather belt embroidered with polychrome silk threads with geometric, floral and heart-shaped patterns, with bright colors on the dark background, fastened on the back by a leather lace.
