Vallebona,
Vallecrosia, San Biagio della Cima, Sasso, Soldano, Borghetto San Nicolò and
Bordighera had a meeting in order to build what they called "Magnifica ComunitĂ degli Otto Luoghi", which can be translated as: "The magnificent community of the eight villages". Their goal was to gain independence from the nearby rival city of
