At the time, the Orsoni clan was also involved with the independantist guerilla in Corsica so it had 3 of their guys break in to the prison and kill Contini and Leccia then surrender to the police.

That's the Corsicans for you...Fierce people.


Are Corsicans Italian but just politically part of France?
Or are they French in a area that is geographically part of Italy?
Or a mixed Italian/French people with no way to distinguish if a Corsican is either French or Italian?


Corsicans are not Italians, per se. But they do share many similarities to the Italian people related to the Italian language and people and culture. The fact that they are so geographically close to Italy has helped in that regard through the years.
