Further information about Ventimiglia

Ventimiglia is a frontier town, commune and episcopal see of Liguria, Italy, in the province of Imperia (formerly in the Province of Porto Maurizio) 130 km southwest of Genoa by rail, and 7 km from the Franco-Italian frontier situated on the Gulf of Genoa, above sea-level, having a small harbour at the mouth of the Roia. The population is (2001) 25,151(town); 30,025 (commune). History: Ventimiglia is the ancient Albium Intemelium, the capital of the Intemelii, a Ligurian tribe which long resisted the Romans, but was forced in 115 BC to submit to Scaurus. In 69 the city was sacked by the army of Otho and Vitellius but recovered to remain prosperous into the fifth century, surrounded by walls with cylindrical towers built at each change of direction. In the Gothic Wars it was besieged by the Byzantines and the Goths, and later suffered from the raids of Rothari, King of the Lombards, but flourished again under Rodoald. In the tenth century it was attacked by the Saracens of Frassinetto. ... Read more about Ventimiglia on Wikipedia
