Geography[edit]

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

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