I couldn't resist taking a picture of Montecristo today because the light was so perfect 🤩🤩 By zooming in, you can even see the island of Giglio and the Italian coast. Pretty rare, right? 😎😎😎

This church is one of the Baroque buildings found in Corsica. It is recognizable from afar with its distinctive bell tower, visible amidst the natural forest setting of the Costa Verde massif.

Talasani is a small town with a turbulent history, but today it is very peaceful. Nestled in the forests of the Costa Verde, it offers beautiful views of the plain and the sea. On the north side of the village are the ruins of the ancient Romanesque chapel of San Petru, which has been enhanced by the town.

This stunning trail follows the historic cobblestone paths that wind through the oak and boxwood forests of the Costa Verde. Keep your eyes peeled, not only for the ground but also, and especially, for the horizon.

The church was begun at the beginning of the seventeenth century and completed in 1717. In 1740, embellishment works were carried out. The wall paintings were painted by Luigi Pollero in 1810. The main façade consists of two levels delimited by cornices and surmounted by a triangular pediment with three acroteria. On the first level, on either side of the portal, there are two niches that house the statues of Saint Nicholas and Saint Peter. The church ends in a semicircular apse. The bell tower rises at the junction of the apse and the right side façade. It has five floors that end in a dome surmounted by a cross. The interior consists of a nave and five richly decorated side chapels. On either side of the altar there are caryatid angels. Building dating from the first quarter of the 17th century (?), mentioned in the report of the pastoral visit of Msgr. Marliani, Bishop of Mariana and Accia, in 1646. It was restored in 1686 with the collaboration of master masons Lorenzo Chiglione and Giovanni Filippi. Rebuilt in 1717 and 1740. Main door dating from 1766. Painted decoration (investigated in the Palissy database) carried out by the painter Luigi Polleri in 1810, as shown by the date on the inside of the building. Restored in 1896.
