Giunssani

Giussani (Ghjunsani in Corsican) is a microregion in the northeast of Corsica, in the department of Haute-Corse.

The Pieve of Jussani, whose chief town was Mausoléo, contained seven communities in the 14th century: Mausoleo, Forcili, Pioggiola, Capella, Olmi, Lecciole and Vallica.

By decree of a Convention on 1 July 1793, the area was renamed Padro and became a part of the department of Golo.

An example is the presence of Olmi-Cappella a large building called the "Establishment Battaglini" and which was the first college in Balagne.

The territorial forest of Tartagine (Forêt de Tartagine-Melaja), covered with pine and Corsican pine, is one of the wildest forests in Corsica and was partially destroyed by a great fire in September 2003, affecting some 1800 hectares.
