Ventimiglia in
Liguria is the last Italian city on the coast. It is very popular with tourists from all nearby regions such as Piedmont and Lombardy.
The city has a long history, the Romans already settled here, so I could see the remains of a
Roman theater. In the
medieval town, built on a hill, I went for a walk through the narrow streets, where there are also many small restaurants. In the new area of the city I also saw many
parks and gardens.
The city is located on the coast, you can naturally connect the discovery of the territory with a beach holiday. I went from here to France, even
Menton, the city on the border I found it very nice.
I was in Ventimiglia in the summer, while the Festival of Flowers was manifested. This is the so-called
“Battle of Flowers”. In June and July there is on the coast on Saturday night a parade of wagons decorated with flowers, which is accompanied by music. The next afternoon, the 'battle' begins, in which the flowers must be thrown into the public.
