Carloforte is a fishing and resort town. It is located on San Pietro Island, about 7 kilometres off the southwestern coast of Sardinia, in the Province of South Sardinia.
The city was founded by 18 families of coral fishermen in the 18th century. They left their hometown in 1541 and settled on the island of Tabarka to fish for coral off the coast of Tunisia. The coral area was exhausted after some time, but the families managed to find plenty more in the sea off the west coast. They asked the king’s permission to settle down on the once uninhabited San Pietro Island. When they were granted permission, they colonised the island in 1739 and named the town Carloforte.
