Les noms de #famille - Les "casate" - vont se stabiliser entre 1770 et 1800. Auparavant, les gens étaient appelés par leur prénom, suivi du prénom de leur père.
An ethereal memory of an unforgettable August 2002, spent walking across Corsica from north to south, on the fabulous (but difficult) GR20 hiking trail.
“One last night on the GR20 trail, at I Paliri refuge”
The I Paliri refuge is located in the Monte Incudine massif in Corsica, France, which includes the famous Needles of Bavella.
The refuge marks the last night for many hikers on the GR20 trail.
The site is characterized by jagged peaks, large rock walls and pine trees twisted by the wind.
Visible peaks, from left to right: Punta Bunifazinca, Punta Buvona, Punta di Ferru, Bocca di Fumicosa, the Manzaghja ridge and the Punta Velacu complex, Promontoire, Campanile de Sainte-Lucie and Puta Cumpuleddu.

@oliviersaraja Ici un un peu froid, mais on a eu l'été jusqu'à la mi-octobre #ajaccio. #aiacciu. #corse#corsica C'est parti pour le ☕ ! Je suis retourné sur ton site. C'est vrai qu'il y a un GROS effort de lisibilité. Comment s'appelle ton template ?
French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed to give a form of autonomy to the Mediterranean island of Corsica, a region that is often irritated by rule from Paris.
Corsicans have long wanted more say on their own affairs, as well as official status for their language and protection from outsiders buying up land - two thorny requests that Paris is reluctant to grant.
Five years again today in the northern mountains of Corsica. We were already under way on the GR20 for about an hour but the sun is only now reaching the top of the mountains.
I haven't touched watercolors since October - a reminder of how full and stressful a time it has been. Not that the stress got less, but trying hard to truly disconnect this week.
And likely the last one for the Corsica series - I've got impatient towards the end of this one, a sure sign that my creative juices are running out for the moment.
I'm stupidly proud that the grapewines on this one actually look like grapewines (if they don't, don't tell).
Tomorrow, all six are going to be sent off to friends to hopefully make someone else than me happy 💚
