For some, Monte Cristo is the alias of a wrongfully imprisoned man who fools Parisian high society after reinventing himself as a mysterious Count. For others, Monte Cristo is a secluded island between Corsica and Italy reachable only by private yacht. For still others, Monte Cristo simply means 'Mountain of Christ', in reference to the distinct shape of this land that, from above, resembles Christ on the cross.
Cloaked in mystery and drenched with connotations of freedom and anonymity, redemption and privilege, the name Monte Cristo evokes the veil of seclusion and discovery this community wears.
