Of the mountain into the sea that is Corsica, the cape stands out as an outgrowth tapered. Sort of finger pointing towards the north, it seems to defy the sea, which encloses the monitor off the Tuscan islands, with Capraïa, the “island of goats”, ephemeral conquest of Corsica in Pascal Paoli time.
By its direct silhouette that punctuates, such a point on an i, the small island of Giraglia, it opposes to the relief of the remainder of the island, inviting to folding up, the sign of a search of other horizons.
Defeated, the Corsican capes were in the field of the remote expatriation, of precursors. Familiar with the sea, unlike the other islanders who, during ages, defied themselves some by fear of the invaders, they fed a current of emigrants which went from the sixteenth century towards the Caribbean, mainly Puerto Rico, and won Argentina and Venezuela in the nineteenth.
