The island of Corsica is one of the 18 regions of France. It was colonized the Carthaginians, the Greeks, the Etruscans and the Romans. After the Roman empire collapsed, Corsica got invaded by the Vandals and the Ostrogoths. For a short while the island belonged to the Byzantine Empire, then the Franks granted the island to the Pope, in the early 11th century Pisa and Genoa together freed the island from the threat of Arab invasion. The island came under the influence of the Republic of Pisa, later it belonged to Genua for centuries. In 1755 after a long fight for independence from Genoa the independent Corsican Republic was proclaimed, but in 1769, when the island was conquered by France. As the areas near the coast over centuries have been threatened by attacks and raids of pirates many old hamlets and dwellings are wide inland, high in the mountains.
Pascal Paoli (aka "Pasquale Paoli"), born in 1725, still known as "U Babbu di a patria" on the island, the "Father of the Fatherland" , wrote the constitution of the Corsican Republic, a representative democracy. Corte was the capital of this republic 1755-1769. Today the island´s only university is in Corte, named "Università di Corsica Pasquale Paoli".
And of course the "Poissonnerie St. Flore".
