Known to Italians as the "Porta Fiorita" (the flowered door), Ventimiglia’s identity is closely tied to the regional floral trade. This coastal resort town of roughly 24,000 residents sits just seven kilometers from the French border, serving as the westernmost gateway to the Italian Riviera.
The Roia river slices the urban area into two distinct halves before emptying into the Gulf of Genoa at a small local harbor. Because of its extreme proximity to the Côte d'Azur, the town sustains heavy daily commuter traffic, functioning as a vital economic link between Italy and France.
