Badalucco

Badalucco covers 15.84 square kilometers in the Argentina valley, with its territory extending from the riverbanks to the slopes of Monte Faudo reaching 1149 meters elevation.

The village was a feudal possession of the Counts of Ventimiglia before being incorporated into the Republic of Genoa in 1259, marking a significant shift in its medieval political development.

Badalucco is recognized as one of Italy's most beautiful villages and maintains traditional Ligurian customs through local festivals, regional cuisine, and the distinctive Baraücu dialect.

The village is accessible via regional roads from major towns, uses postal code 18010 and telephone code 0184, and is currently administered by mayor Matteo Orengo.

The church of San Nicolò was built atop the ruins of the old castle of the Counts of Badalucco, demonstrating the remarkable historical continuity of this Ligurian community.
