City of Imperia
The city of Imperia itself was created during the era of Benito Mussolini from two existing towns - Porto Maurizio and Oneglia - and then raised to provincial administrative capital. Historic Porto Maurizio, built on a headland, claims to date from Roman times, while Oneglia which is situated in the valley of the Impero torrent is the business and industrial centre and has a more modern appearance. Both centres have small commercial and fishing ports.
