In Carloforte, the only inhabited town on the island of San Pietro in the Sulcis Archipelago, Sardinia, the "Girotonno" food and wine event traditionally takes place between late May and early June. This festival is dedicated to tuna and celebrates the island's deep-rooted traditions linked to the tuna fishery and the ritual of the "mattanza" — the traditional tuna hunt — which has long been one of the island's most valuable marine resources.
