Albenga – The City of 100 Towers
Albenga is a city in the province of Savona, a popular seaside destination with a long and rich history dating back to the Roman Empire. The city is also famous for the local gastronomy products grown on the plain of the same name (Piana di Albenga), the largest in the entire region. Albenga has just over 24,000 inhabitants, slightly increasing, mostly thanks to a pool of foreign citizens residing here who are well integrated into the city’s social fabric. The average age of the residents is around 47, with an average income of around €18,000, which has steadily increased in recent years (source Immobiliare.it The number of tourists is growing and affects the area throughout the year, with a natural peak during the summer period (source: Regional Tourist Observatory).
