Overview
Carloforte is the only settlement on the island of San Pietro. The coastal town was founded in 1738 by a group of families originally from Liguria, but living in Tunisia. Carloforte still reflects its origins in its architecture and culture. Not surprisingly, the houses, white or pastel, develop along carrugi-like streets, or follow the hillsides with steps and arches.
