Corsica is the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily, Sardinia, and Cyprus). 

It is located west of Italy, southeast of France, and north of the island of Sardinia.

Corsica is considered one of the 26 régions of France, although strictly speaking 
Corsica is a "territorial collectivity" (collectivité territoriale) by law. 

As a territorial collectivity, it enjoys greater powers than other French régions, 
but for the most part its status is quite similar. 

Corsica is referred to as a "région" in common speech, and is almost always listed 
among the other régions of France. 

Although the island is separated from the continental mainland by the Ligurian Sea 
and is much closer to the Italian than to the French mainland, politically Corsica is 
considered part of Metropolitan France.

Corsica is famed as the birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte. 

His ancestral home, Casa Buonaparte, is located there still.
