Carloforte, Fishing commune on San Pietro Island, Sardinia, Italy.
Carloforte extends along the southern coast of San Pietro Island with rocky shores, sandy beaches, and traditional fishing boats in its harbor.
Founded in 1738 by thirty coral fishing families from Pegli near Genoa who previously settled in Tabarka, Tunisia, before relocating to San Pietro Island.
Residents maintain the Tabarchino dialect, a Ligurian language variant taught in local schools and used daily throughout the community.
Ferries operated by Delcomar connect the port to mainland Sardinia at Portovesme and to Calasetta on Sant'Antioco Island throughout the year.
The former communal tuna processing plant north of town has transformed into a wind-surfing school while preserving its industrial architecture.
