Calasetta, Coastal commune in Sant'Antioco Island, Italy
The town extends down a hillside toward a port, featuring orderly streets lined with white buildings and three main beaches: Grande, Sottotorre, and Le Saline.
In 1770, thirty-eight families of coral fishermen from Pegli relocated from the Tunisian island of Tabarka to establish a settlement in this strategic location.
The inhabitants maintain their distinct Tabarkino dialect, derived from the Genoese language, while preserving traditions of tuna fishing and wine production.
The Cantina di Calasetta, founded in 1932, produces wines from Carignano grapes and offers guided tours with tasting sessions throughout the year.
The Torre Sabauda, constructed between 1756 and 1757, contains an archaeological museum and stands as a former defensive structure against maritime threats.
