    The square is the birthplace of Jean-Pierre Gaffory, the leader of the nationalist government of Corsica in the mid-18th century. He led a successful revolution against the Genoese before being assassinated.

    Numerous holes can be seen on the facade of his house, attributed to bullets fired during the revolution. There is also a statue of Gaffory in front of the house, erected in his memory.

    Pasquale Paoli was born in 1725 in Stretta in the municipality of Morosaglia on Corsica. His father, General Giacinto Paoli, was a kind of prime minister in the short-lived Kingdom of Corsica under King Theodore I of Corsica and went into exile in Naples in 1739 with his youngest son Pasquale. In 1755, Paoli returned to Corsica as a 30-year-old ensign in the King's Corsican Guard and fought the Genoese as commander at the head of the Corsican guerrilla. He managed to drive them out of the interior and trap them in a few port cities.
