from wikipedia: Porto Maurizio (Po'rtu Muřìçiu in ligure, anche più familiarmente, u Po'rtu) è, assieme ad Oneglia (da cui è divisa dal torrente Impero), una delle due parti principali in cui è divisa la città di Imperia. Prima di essere accorpata ad Oneglia in un'unica entità comunale è stata fino al 1923 un comune autonomo. Ha dato i natali al Premio Nobel per la Chimica Giulio Natta e le origini al Premio Nobel per la Medicina Renato Dulbecco.

Porto Maurizio ( Portu Muȓìsiu in Liguria , even more familiarly, U Portu ) is, together with Oneglia (from which it is divided by the Impero stream), one of the two main parts in which the city of Imperia is divided . Before being merged into a single municipal entity in Oneglia it was until 1923 an autonomous municipality , as well as the capital of the then province of Porto Maurizio. He was the birthplace of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry Giulio Natta and the origins of the Nobel Prize in Medicine Renato Dulbecco .
Of probable Roman origins, Porto Maurizio was an independent municipality in the Middle Ages , even if linked by close covenants of alliance and dependence on the nearby and powerful Republic of Genoa , known throughout the Mediterranean for the production but above all the trade in olive oil . After the Napoleonic period it was annexed to Piedmont and then merged into the Kingdom of Italy.
The appearance of the city of Porto Maurizio in the mid- eighteenth century is documented with considerable precision by a clear watercolor table of the atlas The Dominion of the Serene Republic of Genoa on the mainland , compiled and completed in Genoa in 1773 by Colonel Matteo Vinzoni, after long years of studies and work looking for the material necessary for its publication.
The main historical settlement occupies almost entirely the promontory on the sea opposite Oneglia , called Parasio , in the Paràxiu dialect (from the Palatium , an ancient square tower used as a fortress and as a prison - in its place, on the top of the promontory, there is now a small tree-lined square). The district, still today almost completely pedestrian and with the characteristic caruggi (lanes) that intertwine the main road that climbs up to the top, was surrounded by walls , from the Middle Agesforward demolished and rebuilt more externally in order to defend and contain the growing village and be able to adapt to different military techniques.
La Foce is the ancient and charming fishing village of Porto Maurizio and takes its name from the mouth of the Caramagna torrent , around which the houses rise. It is equipped with a small port for fishing boats (the gozzi ) named after the sailor Emanuele Aicardi who fell in Piraeus on 25 January 1941 .
Borgo Marina , an ancient fishing village overlooking the port, greatly enlarged by the most recent building developments. In the last two hundred years, the port has carried out commercial functions, up to the current conversion for tourism purposes only after a long period of crisis.
Church of San Leonardo da Porto Maurizio and his birthplace (visitable), at Parasio . There are contained his personal objects (sacred books, the habit, the cilice) and the funeral cast of the face. Inside, an altar by Giovanni Battista Casella ( 1667 ) with peach blossom marble and paintings by Gregorio De Ferrari (his masterpiece The Addolorata and the purging souls ) and Sebastiano Conca ( Death of Saint Joseph )
Baroque church of Santa Chiara , also at the Parasio , part of a convent of cloistered nuns (still existing). There are preserved S. Domenico Soriano and Madonna di Domenico Fiasella and Madonna with Child and S anta Caterina del Conca. Church of St. Mary Magdalene and annex (former) convent of the Capuchin Fathers , then of the Carmelites (now transformed into a structure for the elderly), in Borgo Foce
In the past, from the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century , even the coast of the western Ligurian Riviera was infested with frequent attacks by the Saracens , Muslim pirates coming from the coasts of North Africa. The walls of Porto Maurizio no longer exist, neither the medieval, narrower, nor the following, Renaissance (see on GoogleMaps the approximate trend of the latter). The most recent circle included, following the military technique of the time

Imperia is Liguria's westernmost province. It borders on Piedmont to the north, the Province of Savona to the east, and France to the west. To the south, it is lapped by the Ligurian Sea. The Provincial Capital is Imperia (41,500 residents) but the most populated town is San Remo (56,000 residents). The sea and the mountains are so close that the area hosts four mountain communities: Comunità dell'Olivo, Alta Valle Arroscia, Argentina Armea and Montana Intemelia. The name Imperia stems from the Impero River, which divides the former opposing villages of Porto Maurizio and Oneglia, now united into one town. In May 1945, the territory was occupied for a month by de Gaulle’s French army, the so-called Tirailleurs.
The stretch of coast belonging to Imperia Province is also known as the Riviera dei Fiori, the Flower Riviera, characterized by bays, ports and coves that become valleys, creeks and peaks standing above 984 ft. The sea of the Riviera is known for a mild climate, even in winter. At a short distance from the coast, behind the hills are valleys and pristine woods. Imperia is well-known for its many agro-alimentary firms that produce oil and pasta (although in time its economy has shifted towards services and tourism), and olive groves are still widespread throughout the territory.
Visit the Provincial Capital's central Via Bonfante with its arcades, and Galleria Isnardi and Galleria degli Orti with the most exclusive boutiques. Along the marina and behind the harbor is old Oneglia, with the old fishermen’s houses and the Palazzo dei Doria, the former lords of the town. Imperia's eastern border reveals the remnants of the 17th-Century walls, originally commissioned by the Savoia family.
Nearby lies the Church of the Annunziata with its neoclassical façade, and the 18th-Century Scolopi Complex. The Duomo di San Maurizio, also in the Neoclassical style, is just outside the historic center. The Naval Museum is also in Piazza del Duomo. The most popular beach along the Province's Riviera is Spiaggia d’Oro, or Golden Beach, in the port area of Borgo Marina, yet every community - from Imperia, Bordighera, and Arma di Taggia to Diano Marina and Ospedaletti - offers gorgeous and sunny beaches.
Noteworthy among the best inland destinations are Dolceacqua (with the overlooking Doria Castle, which can be reached through a scenic bridge over the Nervia River), Pigna (an art and spa hub), Rocchetta Nervina (with its many small lakes, the best initiation point for a hike), Perinaldo (famous for the Cassini Observatory) and Pieve di Teco (with its characteristic arcades).
San Remo, the city of flowers, is home to the 1905 Casino, where every year the Festival della Canzone Italiana (Italian song festival) is held. Ventimiglia is the town nearest to the border with France, and to the visitor it reveals its dual personalities: the archaeological town from the Roman period, an open-air museum with a theatre still in pristine conditions, the Provenza Portal, the thermal baths and mosaics; and the Medieval town, on the Roia River's right bank, characterized by monumental walls, the Cathedral of the Assunta, the octagonal-plan Baptistery and the Convent of the Canonichesse Lateranensi. Worth visiting is also the Salvini di Pieve di Teco Theater, the world’s smallest theatre.
Imperia Province displays extraordinary flora: from the world-famous palms of Bordighera to the terraces covered with vineyards and olive groves, that lend their incredible colors to the Nervia Valley. Similarly, the trees on the Olivo Hills alternate with homes and villages. Finally, the valleys between Liguria and Piedmont - such as Argentina, Armea and Arroscia - boast plenty of natural resources that decorate the remains of ancient settlements.

???????? Porto Maurizio - Imperia (HD)
L'antico borgo fortificato di Porto Maurizio uno dei due nuclei che compongono la città di Imperia, costituita dal regime fascista unendo amministrativamente Oneglia e, appunto, Porto Maurizio si impone anche dal lato mare, dove peraltro assume un aspetto più organico e tipico di borgo fortificato, costituito da costruzioni tra di loro fortemente integrate, stratificatesi nei secoli, ma senza deturpanti inserimenti contemporanei.
Non si avverte, al suo interno, il ruolo di concapitale della più estrema provincia del ponente ligure: la vita sembra scorrere tranquilla e pigra, e rende più piacevole permanervi e aggirarsi tra le diverse cerchie murarie che via via si sono succedute, tra nobili palazzi cinque e settecenteschi mescolati ad edifici medievali strutturalmente più semplici, tra loggiati da cui si scopre allimprovviso il mare.

The city of Imperia is composed of Oneglia and Porto Maurizio, united by the Torrente Impero. In Porto Maurizio the medieval village of Parasio is worth a visit: starting from the Duomo dedicated to S.Maurizio (of more recent construction compared to the historical nucleus of Parasio) you climb up steps, alleys, archivolts, crossing Piazzetta Pagliari with the typical paving in black and white sea pebbles, climbing between ancient houses and noble palaces up to the baroque Oratory of S. Pietro facing west, then coming back to the magnificent portico of the Logge di S. Chiara, below the convent of the Poor Clares leading to the Church of S.Chiara and the Church of S. Leonardo, located next to his birth house. After the excursion, it is worth stopping at the Parasio to dine in the taverns of the place.
Returning eastwards to San Bartolomeo al Mare, you can not miss a stop in Oneglia in Calata Cuneo, a parade of porticoes overlooking the quay of the old commercial port, once animated by the ships that boarded taggiasche olives of the Riviera to sell it in all over the world and from ships that brought wheat and cereals to the renowned Pastificio Agnesi, not far away. Today the ancient port area is mainly intended for strolling and for the activities of the remaining fishing boats.
They have to see the fish auction and the fishermen's quay, engaged on the ground in the maintenance of their fishing gear, then pushing on the long pier where you can enjoy the beautiful view from the sea that embraces the entire city of Imperia, from Capo Berta to the east to the soft profile of Porto Maurizio to the west
