CalviCalvi is a small town and commune of the Haute-Corse (2A) dpartement, in France. It is located on the northwest coast of the island of Corsica, 95 km from Bastia and 24 km from L'le-Rousse. It has about 4,800 inhabitants (2001). There is one legend that Christopher Columbus was from the Calvi, which at the time was part of the Genoese empire. Because the often subversive elements of the island gave its inhabitants a bad reputation, he would have masked his exact heritage. Weblinks
