Discovering an authentic Balagne !
For a guided tour of Pigna to the sound of Corsican music
You will meet these men and women who have been working for more than fifty years to revive one of the jewels of Balagne: Pigna! Corsican music will be the common thread of this exceptional visit punctuating each of our steps.
By opening the MuseuMusica, proud curator of the musical and vocal memory of Corsica, you will discover the Auditorium which stands majestically. Built entirely of raw earth, it constitutes a true architectural and ecological feat and offers acoustic comfort recognized by the greatest international artists.
These places are emblems proudly worn by the National Center for Musical Creation Voce which works for training, research, creation and dissemination of this musical heritage. This passion has enabled the restoration of a precious heritage to be admired along the cobbled streets.
Let’s enter the workshops and discover ancestral know-how through special moments with the artisans.
