List of famous people in Corsica
The list of known people in Corsica gives an overview of people who come from Corsica , who have Corsican ancestors or whose work is of particular importance for Corsica, and about whom there is an article in the German Wikipedia. Since Corsica has been conquered by different peoples in the course of its history, who have mixed or left Corsica over the centuries, the term Corsica does not designate an ethnic group, but serves as a designation of origin.
