Province of Imperia

The Province of Imperia sits between France and the Ligurian Sea, with mountains, valleys, and rocky coastal cliffs shaping its landscape. Valleys descend from inland heights toward the water, creating a varied terrain throughout the territory.

The territory took its current form in 1923 when two separate cities and surrounding communes merged into one administrative unit. The region played a significant role in resistance efforts during the Second World War.

Olive farming and flower cultivation shape daily life here, with locals tending these crops as their families have for centuries. These practices define the landscape and connect people directly to their land.

The region connects through a coastal highway and a railway line that run parallel to the shore. Visitors can explore the area by car or train, with these routes passing through the different valley landscapes.

The province received a military honor for its role in wartime resistance. This recognition reflects how the local population played an important part in Italy's liberation.
