PARTINELLO - PARTINELLU
Presentation
The small village of Partinello is located halfway between Serriera and Osani, in the Gulf of Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Recently built, it retains the memory of a heavy occupation in medieval times.
In the 16th century, the insubordination of the inhabitants to the seigneurial Leca family led to its depopulation with the destruction of all the dwellings, by order of the Office of Saint George. Subsequently the territory fell victim to the incursions of the Barbarians. It was not until the 17th century that the Office of Saint George again authorized the populations to settle in the territory that constitutes the present village of Partinello. We then see the arrival of shepherds in transhumance from the Niolu region (in Haute Corse), having adopted a sedentary lifestyle and thus marking the formation of rural communities.
The village of Partinello dates from the second half of the 19th century, located at 237 m above sea level, it dominates the Gulf of Porto, the superb pebble beach of Caspiu and its landscapes such as the jagged creeks and the wild coast of rocks. red. At the top of the village, the small parish church of Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue in dressed stone dates from the 19th century, has a three-storey bell tower surmounted by a lantern.
Two hamlets, Vignale and Vetriccia, whose few scattered houses are built on the mountainside show us the direction of Caspiu beach on the D324 to enjoy the calm and the joys of swimming.
For the little story: Every year, Saint Antoine is celebrated there on June 13th. With the high mass as well as the procession, an old secular tradition has been brought up to date: on the occasion of Saint Antoine, a veal on the spit (Corsican veal) is prepared and served to all participants as well as an aperitif offered by the traders. This tradition has its roots in the time when, in turn, the breeders offered a beast for St Anthony to be served a meal to the faithful.
