Turism | History
Calvi -- Turism
Haute-Corse is a French department. It constitutes the northern part of the island of Corsica.
The department was formed on September 15, 1975, when the department of Corse was divided into Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud. The department corresponds exactly to the former department of Golo which existed between 1793 and 1811.
The department is surrounded on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea and on the south by the department of Corse-du-Sud.The inhabitants of the entire island of Corsica are called corsicans.
During the First and Second Empires, very few salient facts took place in Calvi. The city came to life again in the middle of the XXth century thanks to mayor Adolphe Landry. Originally a professor of political economy and the founder of the French school of demography, Landry (1874-1956) was minister under the Third and Fourth Republics and mayor of Calvi for nearly 50 years. Landry transformed Calvi, then a small fishing port, into an attractive sea resort. A port of commerce, a marina (1970), an airport (1951) and a railway station were built to attract tourists. Beautiful hotels were built, which had rich customers such as Princess Grace of Monaco and Prince Rainier during their honeymoon. Prince Youssopov, one of the murderers of Rasputin, bought a villa that became a meeting point for the emigrated Russian aristocrats. The designer Christian Dior showed his new collections on the port of Calvi.
Today, the marina has 450 moorings and receives 45,000 skippers per year. Passenger traffic with the continent is 86,000 per year via the sea and 212,000 via the air.
Calvi is also renowned for its jazz and festival and the Festiventu (festival of the wind).
According to a local tradition, supported by some historians, the navigator Christopher Colombus was borne in the citadel around 1436, where a Colombo family was known.
