The island of San Pietro, facing Sardinia, preserves some particular intersting characterisitcs. Carloforte is the main town and was founded by coral fishers from Liguria, who moved there in the first few years of the 18th century. The language and the customs make this island Ligurian in culture. From the locality La Punta, beyond the splendid pinewood that covers the hills, one can see at a glance the the whole island, and beyond the Sardinian coast. To the west, a panoramic road leads to Capo Sandalo, where the impressive Cala Fico and Caporosso mountain are to be noted. Off the coast, one can admire the two sharp trachyte rocks, known as Le Colonne which are the symbols of Carloforte. |
