Borgomaro is the main town at the bottom of the Maro valley. It is the first part of the Impero valley. After the Trexenda stream joins the waters of the Maro at Santo Lazzaro Reale, it becomes the Impero stream. It is called this because its course winds through the “Imperial” domains, established by the Emperor, and it gives its name to the coastal city of Imperia, founded by the union of Oneglia, Porto Maurizio and some minor municipalities in 1923. The placename “Maro” is a Ligurian term, which predates the presence of the Romans. It refers to water, or “Macra”. In fact, there are also the rivers Magra and Maira in the north-west of Italy.

Borgomaro

The municipality of Borgomaro has around 900 inhabitants, including the outlying hamlets. The built-up areas are surrounded by the green of the countryside and the woods. Here, silence and peace reign. The streams run calmly and only swell when it rains, becoming charming in their own way.

This is also the kingdom of extra-virgin olive oil from Taggiasca olives, which is linked to a very varied and appetising cuisine. This land is not lacking in typical traditions and festivals that involve the populations of the whole Maro area.
