history
Sagone was a bishopric from the 6th century . Pirate attacks and malaria resulted in the episcopal see being moved to Vico and later to Calvi in 1572 . The place sank into insignificance for a long time. Only the successful fight against malaria after the Second World War led to the emergence of a modern fishing and bathing resort.
