It is an integral part of the soul of this micro-region of Corsica. Indeed, man determines the outline and the grandeur of the region thanks to his quality know-how, his commitments of all kinds and his numerous references to tradition.
In fact, he is the determining actor who traces the path to be taken. The purpose of this synthetic photo exhibition is to facilitate the discovery of this identity.
