The village has had its Church of Saint Thomas since 1269, built by Andrea Malaspina. Amidst its arcades and numerous so-called "venelles," it houses a 16th-century image of the Virgin and Child, a 17th-century holy water font, and a marble statue of Saint Anthony the Baptist, discovered near Lozari. The latter, coveted by several communities, was therefore transported by oxen on a cart across the region and given to the village where the animals first stopped.

Cute little mountain village, great views, always worth a visit.

The pass itself has a provisional pass sign at the junction to a fenced antenna system, but the D 151 towards Montegrosso as a mountain road climbs by about 15 meters in altitude over the next undulating 800 meters.

For those who are planning a detour to the Forêt Domaniale de Bonifatu or who are thinking of driving past Calvi and heading southwest over the Col de Marsolino, it even represents a shortcut via a beautiful hillside road. Which brings us to the most important point: the most beautiful panorama of the bay of Calvi and the ridge towards Monte Cinto is probably from the road over the Col de Salvi. This means that on the D 151 leading over the pass, despite the very moderate traffic volume, you may well come across a coach that is too big for the road, which is mostly only one and a half lanes wide.

The Col de Salvi is a quiet, very worthwhile connection option for racing cyclists who are heading towards Calvi from the (north)east via the Col de San Colombano or the Bocca di a Battaglia.

The municipalities of Lunghignano and Montemaggiore merged in 1972 to form the municipality of Saint-Rainier-de-Balagne. Saint-Rainier-de-Balagne was merged with Cassano on 1 January 1973 to form the municipality of Montegrosso, named after the Monte Grosso mountain range.

Montegrosso consists of the villages of Montemaggiore/Montemaiò as the main town (381 m), Cassano/Cassani (300 m) and Lunghignano/Lunghignani (340 m). The municipality is located at about 400 meters above sea level and borders Lavatoggio to the north, Cateri and Avapessa to the northeast, Muro to the east, Zilia to the southeast, Calenzana to the southwest, Calvi to the west and Lumio to the northwest.

The D151 has great views and little traffic. The connection to the quiet hinterland is a must!
