Diano Arentino
A small village immersed in the Dianese valley
Hello everyone! Today I will talk about a small village located in the province of Imperia, in Liguria: Diano Arentino. Diano Arentino is a tranquil location, perfect for nature lovers seeking some peace and quiet. Located in the high Dianese valley of San Pietro (stream), the village is surrounded by beautiful mountains and breathtaking views.
Its ancient history
The territory of Diano Arentino has a very fascinating ancient history. Already in pre-Roman times, many villages and towns arose thanks to the presence of the Ligurian tribes, agriculture, and pastoralism. Over the centuries, the village of Diano Arentino changed hands several times, passing from Clavesana Marquisate to the Republic of Genoa, and then being incorporated into the Kingdoms of Sardinia and Italy.
The symbols of the village
The municipality of Diano Arentino does not have many symbols, but one of the most important is the church of Santa Margherita, located in the capital of Diano Arentino. It is a very simple, but very suggestive church.
What to see in Diano Arentino
If you love nature, Diano Arentino is the perfect place for you. You can take beautiful walks on the surrounding mountains and enjoy breathtaking views. In addition, if you visit the village at the end of July, you can attend the celebration in honor of Santa Margherita, the patron saint of the village, with a procession and a series of cultural events.
Reconstruction after the war
During World War II, the village of Diano Arentino suffered serious damage due to Fascist reprisals and was almost completely destroyed. However, thanks to the commitment and determination of the inhabitants, the village was rebuilt and became a pleasant and tranquil location again.
