RENNO - RENNU
20160 Renno
Presentation
Renno is a small mountain village made up of five hamlets with relatively homogeneous architecture and built on the hillside. Nestled at an altitude of 950m, it is the highest village in Corse-du-Sud. Poggio, Padingu, Macinaggio, Chimeglia, Chjirasgia are the five hamlets that form the village of Renno. Poggio can be considered the center of the village with its town hall, a fountain and the Church of Saint Celestine. But in the heritage of the town we will find the lion fountain and the church of Saint Jacques in Chjirasgia, in Chimeglia the fountain of Tarzaniglia and its church of Saint Mary, but also the small chapel of Saint Roch. Surrounded by a century-old chestnut grove, under the Col de Sevi, Renno lives under the protection of Saint Roch who would have spared him from the plague in the 14th century. Even today, on Saint Roch's Day (August 16), the statue of the Saint is carried in a procession adorned with ribbons, which the audience shares at the end of the ceremony. A fair lasting several days originally celebrated agro-pastoral activity. Even today, artisans and producers exhibit their creations. Another expected event in the year, the Tumbera, celebrated on the last Sunday of January. The pork slaughter is celebrated there and many producers take advantage of the event to present their charcuterie. For the record: It is said that Letizia Bonaparte, known under the name of Madame Mère, stayed several times in Renno. Back from Corte, she would have stopped to rest on this road which was to lead her to Ajaccio because she was pregnant at the time of Napoleon. In these times when the journeys were long and painful for a woman about to give birth, we naturally say to ourselves that History could have given birth to Napoleon in Renno. Renno is also the home of French motocross champion Joseph Cantoni and Italian literature teacher Paul Arrighi, co-founder of Annu Corsu.
