520 _a"Wanderings in Corsica: Its History and Its Heroes. Vol. 2 of 2" by Ferdinand Gregorovius is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the landscape, culture, and significant figures of Corsica, revealing the island's tumultuous past through the author's journey and reflections. It emphasizes the historical events and personal stories that shaped Corsican identity, focusing on both its beauty and the tragedies tied to its vendettas and conflicts. At the start of this volume, the narrative paints a vivid picture of the Corsican landscape as the author travels from Bastia through the district of Nebbio towards the Gulf of San Fiorenzo. Along the way, he describes the natural scenery, the remnants of ancient settlements, and the historical significance of various locations, such as the town of San Fiorenzo and its shady past involving the Genoese and Corsican conflicts. The opening chapters establish a rich atmosphere of both idyllic beauty and darker historical undertones, setting the stage for the exploration of Corsica’s culture, including its unique practices around music, death, and the vendetta, alongside intriguing historical figures such as Pasquale Paoli.
