This book will deal with some of those picturesque and out-of-the-way hamlets which visitors to the South may have seen perched on hill-tops or hidden in the valleys, away from the beaten track of tourists. The district referred to is that part of Liguria which commences at the French frontier; and a brief historical outline traces the origin and development of these little “Ville”—as they were called—from the early days of the Genoese Republic, through the interesting period when some of them, revolting from the oppression of Ventimiglia, formed the “Community of the Otto Luoghi,” and proceeded to carry out their ideas of Home Rule. Several of the Villages still possess a number of their old documents, account-books, and other records, and these are now laid under contribution for the first time.
