U Paize

Among the settlements of Sardinia, U Paize stands out as the historic centre of Carloforte on San Pietro Island, off the island’s south-western coast. The Mediterranean surrounds this small island community, where harbour life and narrow streets reflect a distinct Tabarchino identity. Carloforte was founded in 1738 by Ligurian settlers who had previously lived on Tabarka, off Tunisia; their Ligurian-based Tabarchino language remains part of local culture. Tuna fishing and its culinary traditions are closely associated with the town, while the port connects San Pietro with mainland Sardinia.
