Ventimiglia

Bordertown Ventimiglia once harboured a stoic Roman town known as Albintimulium, which survived until the 5th century AD, when it was besieged by the Goths. These days it's besieged by a weekly horde of French bargain hunters who cross the border each market day.

Italian Riviera is situated in the northern western part of the mediterranean coast of Italy and it is famous for its exclusive beaches and its beautiful sea
