The "Babbu di a Patria" (Father of the fatherland), as was nicknamed Pasquale Paoli by the Corsican Italians, wrote in his Letters the following appeal in 1768 against the French invaders:

We are Corsicans by birth and sentiment, but first of all we feel Italian by language, origins, customs, traditions; and Italians are all brothers and united in the face of history and in the face of God ... As Corsicans we wish to be neither slaves nor "rebels" and as Italians we have the right to deal as equals with the other Italian brothers ... Either we shall be free or we shall be nothing... Either we shall win or we shall die (against the French), weapons in hand ... The war against France is right and holy as the name of God is holy and right, and here on our mountains will appear for Italy the sun of liberty....

("Siamo còrsi per nascita e sentimento ma prima di tutto ci sentiamo italiani per lingua, origini, costumi, tradizioni e gli italiani sono tutti fratelli e solidali di fronte alla storia e di fronte a Dio… Come còrsi non vogliamo essere né schiavi né "ribelli" e come italiani abbiamo il diritto di trattare da pari con gli altri fratelli d’Italia… O saremo liberi o non saremo niente… O vinceremo con l’onore o soccomberemo (contro i francesi) con le armi in mano... La guerra con la Francia è giusta e santa come santo e giusto è il nome di Dio, e qui sui nostri monti spunterà per l’Italia il sole della libertà…")

Pasquale Paoli wanted the Italian language to be the official language of his Corsican Republic. His Corsican Constitution of 1755 was in Italian and the short-lived university he founded in the city of Corte in 1765 used Italian.

He was obviously talking about Italy in a cultural sense, not a nationalistic one.
>Pasquale Paoli wanted the Italian language to be the official language of his Corsican Republic
He didn't "wanted it" it WAS the language of the corsicans elites because corsican language was considered low-class and uneducated.

Also, although Corsica was in the italian sphere culturally, it has always been somewhat separated from it : Roman conquest of Corsica was much more difficult than its conquest of Sicily and Sardinia for instance. Moreover in the middle ages, when the island was occupied by Genoa, the Corsicans were viewed as aboriginals and savages and their nobility was treated as such by the genovese. They were not considered as equals as the other italians and the island was treated like a colony. This lead to various uprising and a strong resentiment from the locals against the mainlanders italians. Remember that Paoli fought the genoveses before the french, so i doubt you can consider Corsica and corsicans "Italians"

Yes, their Torri (towers) resemble Nuraghe, though they are smaller and much less numerous (50 Torri found vs like 7000 Nuraghi), but most of them have not been excavated so we don't know a lot about them, they also had contacts with Apenninic cultures from Central Italy and with Ligurinians


They depicted their armour and weaons in their statue stelaes, dated around 1300-1100 bc, which a lot like the sea peoples' armors depicted at Medinet Habu (1180 bc), which is really intriguing.

Except since Antiquity there has been massive migrations from Italy to Corsica and the corsican language is 100% native to the italian peninsula. Corsica today has nothing to do with pre-roman Corsica.

Because while it might have been culturally italian at this time, Corsica is a Nation and Paoli made it clear. Therefore it cannot be a part of the Italian nation since it's a nation itself.

The roots of its culture, language and people are to be found on the italian peninsula. There is no such thing as a "non culturally italian Corsica". Read >>2859010
>it cannot be a part of the Italian nation
It certainly can, is already and should be officially. Corsica is Sardinia's twin brother, always has been; unfortunately, only the latter is currently at home.

He did have a Corsicans accent all of his life however he wrote well, he authored many essays and works throughout his school years and many letters throughout his life. He wrote French just fine.

>>2859824
>a Corsicans accent
An italian accent, not what is considered a "Corsican accent" in France today, he had to learn french at school, he had a lot of difficulty, needed special classes and never really mastered the language in his life. This is why it's ridiculous to always portray him speaking english with the stereotypical french accent, he should be made to sound like Mario.

Dude the document said the Sardinian population didn't like the idea of becoming France, not the idea of independence. The only ones caring about Italian unity were Asproni and the followers of Mazzini. Just read this part:

"Emblematico, al riguardo, quanto dichiarato dalla “Gazzetta Popolare”: la Sardegna “sarebbe dovuta rimanere o italiana, o sarda, o inglese, ma francese non mai”.

In short: "everything is better then France", for some reason. That was the point of the discussion.

> This mad about objective data
Why?

>Corsicans fight Axis occupation as severely as mainland France
>our retarded neighbours from the South still try to convince themselves that Corsicans want to be Italian at all

>The liberation of Corsica began with an uprising ordered by the local Resistance on 9 September 1943. The Allies did not initially want such a movement, preferring to focus their forces on the invasion of Italy. However, in light of the insurrection, the Allies acquiesced to the landing of elements of the reconstituted French I Corps on Corsica in September 1943, starting with one division of elite French troops being landed—again—via the submarine Casabianca at Arone near the village of Piana in the northwest of Corsica. This prompted the German troops to attack Italian troops as well as French resistants in Corsica. The Corsican and French Partisans and the Italian 44 Infantry Division Cremona, 20 Infantry Division Friuli engaged in heavy combat with the German Sturmbrigade Reichsführer SS and 90th Panzergrenadier Division, supported by the Italian 12th Parachute Battalion of the 184th Parachute Regiment),[9] which came from Sardinia and retreated through Corsica from Bonifacio towards the northern harbor of Bastia.
