    Not a big monument with cars always driving around it, but still beautiful in the city center of Corte.

    Pasquale Paoli was born in 1725 in Stretta, in the municipality of Morosaglia, 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, in 1739, went into exile in Naples with his youngest son, Pasquale. In 1755, Paoli returned to Corsica as a 30-year-old ensign in the King's Corsican Guard and, as commander at the head of the Corsican guerrillas, fought the Genoese. He succeeded in expelling them from the interior and entrenching them in a few port cities.

    Hiking

    On his way to England, Paoli was welcomed and honored throughout Europe as a freedom hero. He met, among others, Joseph II and Goethe, who later described this encounter in Poetry and Truth:[2]

    Paoli's life was marked by the struggle for the goal of a united Corsican nation. To this end, he entered into varying alliances with France and England and maintained contacts with Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Frederick the Great, Catherine II of Russia, the Pope, the young United States of America, the Turkish Sultan, and the Bey of Tunis.
