ITALIAN RIVIERA FUN (PORTO MAURIZIO & IMPERIA/ONEGLIA): THE 'BEST OF' from STEVE & PATTY
Orientation: Porto Maurizio is one one side of the Impero River and Oneglia (which I and others refer to as Imperia) is on the other side of the river.
See our BEST apt street location and the BEST area white sand beach in Porto Maurizio (we just visited for one week). Then, in sister town Imperia/Oneglia see our visit to its best beach (urrggg rocks), town center piazza, main church square + shopping street and once a week street market church bells and all.

Scenes from Oneglia, Imperia, Italy
Oneglia is one of two areas in Imperia, Italy and is Liguria's westernmost province.
It borders on Piemonte to the north, on the Savona province to the east and on 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 Sanremo (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 blended 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 the Imperia province is also known as 'Riviera dei Fiori', the Flower Riviera, characterized by bays, ports and coves that become valleys, creeks and peaks above 300 meters. The sea of the Riviera is known for maintaining a mild climate even in winter throughout the area.

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.

Places to see in ( Imperia - Italy ) Porto Oneglia
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

Sometimes, you just get that perfect light.
As a small child, my Grandfather, an artist, once took me for a walk along the marina in Imperia, where I still have family. I've been back several times, but this was the first time I got to fly there like a bird.
Thanks to my lovely cousins, uncle and aunt, for spoiling me again.
Thanks to Steven Wilson for unwittingly providing me with the perfect tune, in my favourite time signature of 6/8, to back this.
