Carloforte (U Pàize in Ligurian dialect) is a fishing and resort town located on the isle of San Pietro (Saint Peter's Island), approximately 7 km off the South Western Coast of Sardinia.
It can be easily reached after a 30 minutes crossing by ferryboat departing from either Portoscuso or Calasetta.
Carloforte was founded in the 18th century by some 30 families of coral fishers, originally from Pegli, near Genoa, Liguria. They had left their home town and had settled in the island of Tabarka, off the coast of Tunisia, to fish for coral. After a century or so, the coral in that area was exhausted and so the families set off back to Italy and found there was plenty of coral in the sea off the west coast of Sardinia. They asked the King of Sardinia Charles Emmanuel III for permission to settle on the island of San Pietro. When he granted them permission, the name Carloforte (Charles' Fort) was given to the town they established there, in honour of the king. Nowadays Carloforte maintains strong cultural ties with the town of Pegli. The population still speaks a variant of Ligurian dialect called tabarchìn (or tabarchino, in Italian), used even by most children and taught in the schools of the island.
The very early history of the town - and of San Pietro Island - may be linked to the so-called Children’s Crusade of 1212. A local church (Chiesa dei Novelli Innocenti) whose foundations date back to the early 14th century was apparently built in honour of hundreds of children-crusaders who may have perished in a shipwreck just off the island on their way to North Africa during a gale. In truth, historical evidence of this event is actually scant and would need to be researched further. The church is called Chiesa dei Novelli Innocenti and is located within the town perimeter.
The traditional feast called Girotonno - June 2011
A renowned festival entirely dedicated to the tuna fish culture. The event has recently become an important international meeting involving journalists, experts and fans of the yellow-fin tuna. Internationally famous chefs challenge themselves in a competition where they express their best recipes. Not to neglect a visit to the lighthouse of the island and to the “tonnara” (the old tuna fishing station).
