Corsican souvenirs such as a beach towel with a map of Corsica and the ( main symbol of the Corsican national flag) on sale in Ajaccio on Corsica, France. The black Moor's head with a white bandeau was adopted by Pasquale Paoli in 1762 as the official emblem of independent Corsica. The bandeau originally blindfolded the eyes of the Moor, while it is now raised to his forehead. There are those who see its removal as a symbol of freedom from slavery.
