In the style of the Peinture du Mouvement there were also paintings, dated from 1948 to 1954, representing the life of peasants. In particular, in the series called Peintures sur la Barbagia (Paintings on Barbagia), or Cycle de la Sardaigne (Paintings on Sardinia) ORAZI depicted people, customs, traditions, and landscapes of Barbagia - which at that time was a remote area of Sardinia, the insular region of Italy - where he spent several months in 1953 to find wild nature and old, preserved villages with their inhabitants: twenty-five of those paintings were exhibited, in 1954, at his solo exhibition at the Parisian art gallery ‘Marcel Bernheim'; two were presented at the Salon d'Automne of 1954. Even before those exhibitions, this series of paintings had been appreciated by critics and made known by the press. Today, many paintings on Barbagia are kept by the municipality of Gavoi, to be exhibited in the local museum.
