The thousand-year-old highway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Via Marenca is a route that connected Piedmont, France and the northern regions with the coast, allowing people to move and trade, primarily salt. A stretch of great strategic importance connected the villages of the Impero, Maro and Prel\u00e0 valleys, reaching Oneglia, the landing point of merchant ships even before th construction of its port in the XIX century. Here sections of the path are still clearly visible, delimited by dry stone walls that acted as both a boundary between properties and as deterrents, preventing mules and other pack animals from browsing in the lands next to the street.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tThe route of the Via Marenca cannot be totally determined: it varied with the change of\u00a0 seasons or with economic and political events. For this reason there is not only one via Marenca but several routes, mainly along the ridges, which can be assimilated conceptually to today’s highways.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
