What to do in Pietroso ?
In the middle of the maquis with miscellaneous odours and perfumes, adjoining a fragrant pine forest, this little village is known for its numerous «sapare» (caves). Birthplace of the curate Dominique Carlotti, better known by his pen name Martinu Appinzapalu, he was a poet, lexicographer and grammarian of the Corsican language.
