Geography


The Impero rises near Monte Grande,[3] crosses the comunes of Aurigo, Borgomaro, Lucinasco, Chiusavecchia, Chiusanico and Pontedassio, giving its name to its valley, and ends in the Ligurian Sea in Oneglia (IM).

Impero basin (95 km2) is totally included in the Province of Imperia and also encompasses the communes of Cesio and Caravonica.[4]
