Mama Corsica Mama Corsica "Mama Corsica" is a song by French singer Patrick Fiori, written in Corsican and French and composed by François Valéry. The song represented France at the Eurovision Song Contest 1993, where it came in fourth place. The song is in praise of Corsica itself, with Fiori likening the island to a mother taking pity on all who come to her. The majority of the song is in French, however Fiori also tells the island ""tonight I am singing in Corsican for you"", which he then does, singing that it is as if the whole world were doing so.
Medieval Corsica descendant of the Malaspinas who had once ruled in Corsica. His brother Gherardo, Count of Montagnano, accepted the call, proclaimed himself Count of Corsica, and, landing in the island, captured Biguglia and San Fiorenzo; whereupon Tommasino da Campo Fregoso discreetly sold his rights to the Bank of San Giorgio. The Bank, allied with the Gian Paolo da Leca, defeated Gherardo only to find the Fregoso attempting to repudiate their bargain. Gian Paolo supported the Fregoso, but the Bank, after hard fighting, exiled him to Sardinia. Twice he returned, and he was not finally expelled from the country till 1500. It
