**Antisanti** (in [Corsican](/source/Corsican_language) ***Antisanti***, pronounced [ɑ̃ŋ.ti.ˈzɑ̃ːŋ.ti]) is a [commune](/source/Communes_of_France) in the [Haute-Corse](/source/Haute-Corse) (Upper Corsica) [department](/source/Departments_of_France) of [France](/source/France) on the island of [Corsica](/source/Corsica).

## Geography

Antisanti is a landlocked commune on the eastern side of [Corsica](/source/Corsica) overlooking the eastern plain of the island some 80 km south of [Bastia](/source/Bastia) and 12 km west by north-west of [Aléria](/source/Al%C3%A9ria). It belonged to the ancient [Pieve](/source/Pieve) of Rogna and is now part of the *Rogna in La* micro-region located on the right bank of the [Tavignano](/source/Tavignano) extending from [Vivario](/source/Vivario) to the plain. Access to the commune is by the minor road D43 from Aléria in the east passing through the heart of the commune and the village before continuing west to join the D143 south-east of [Santo-Pietro-di-Venaco](/source/Santo-Pietro-di-Venaco). There is also a connecting road to the D343 near [Vezzani](/source/Vezzani). National Highway N200 passes along the eastern and northern borders but there is no access to the commune.

The west of the commune is rugged and heavily forested, while the eastern half is on the plain with mostly farmland although still having significant forested areas.

The northern and eastern borders of the commune are formed by the Tavignano river with a large tributary flowing west through the centre of the commune to join it on the eastern border.[3]
