About the island
Corsica is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, located west of Italy, southeast of France and north of the island of Sardinia. It is famed as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. His ancestral home, Casa Bonaparte, is still located there.
Corsica is usually considered one of the 26 regions of France, although strictly speaking Corsica is a territorial collectivity by law. As a territorial collectivity, it enjoys greater powers than other French regions, but for the most part its status is quite similar. Corsica is referred to as a region in common speech, and is almost always listed among the other regions of France. Although the island is separated from the continental mainland by the Ligurian Sea and is much closer to the Italian than to the French mainland, politically Corsica is considered part of Metropolitan France.
