I'm sorry I'll have to correct you on that, but I don't expect Americans to know about every small island in the Mediterranean: Corse is not Italian, it's French.
(big thing you actually
know about Corse, seriously, would be like me knowing about the Catalinas)
Besides, I am Sardinian, so you picked the right example. I'm hugely keen on dialects and accents and stuff like that.
In Italy we have more than one variant per region (we have 20 regions).
I guarantee you Italian from Sicily is a whole different thing than Italian from Rome, or Northern Italian. Standard Italian is generally spoken in Florence.
