THE GRAIN OF SAND
This grain of sand, which owes its name only to its shape and not to its size, is for many of the highlights of Bonifacio's natural panorama, a mass of limestone detached from the cliff. This rock, situated at a distance from the cliff and visible from the heights of the city, symbolizes the inevitable fate that nature seems to reserve to the city of Bonifacio, in the very long term of course, a destiny similar to that which seems promised to the Italian city of Venice: to be buried in the waves. This erosion, which has carved the coast of the extreme south of the island of Beauty, makes a sword of Damocles on the constructions closest to the sea. the latter, under the combined action of the elements, including water and wind, are exposed to a cruel future. The mouths of Bonifacio are among the coasts most exposed to the elements of the Mediterranean and are the scene of turbulent storms during which the sea fights the wind to overthrow small boats and project the large vessels at one aground on the coast, fate reserved for La Sémillante in 1855.
