Oneglia
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "For".
Oneglia (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx or Script error: No such module "Lang".; Template:Langx; Template:Langx) is a former town on the Ligurian coast in northern Italy, in 1923 joined to Porto Maurizio to form the municipality of Imperia. The name is still used for the suburb.[1]
The Imperia Oneglia railway station was closed in 2016, due to the new organization of the city, which provides a new station in the middle core of the city of Imperia, to make the connection between Porto Maurizio and Oneglia easier.
History
Oneglia became a papal domain in the 8th century after the Lombards transferred control of the town to the pope.[1] Oneglia suffered from a Muslim attack during this time.[1] However, it later recovered as the town of Ripa Uneliae, and was governed by the bishop of Albenga.[1] The Doria Family purchased Oneglia and Porto Maurizio in 1298.[1] The Dorias ruled the town until the 16th century (there were some brief interludes in which the Doria did not rule the town during this time).[1] One of the Dorias, Andrea Doria, was born in Oneglia in 1466.[1]
In 1576, Oneglia became part of the domain of the House of Savoy.[1] The Savoyards attempted to develop Oneglia as a major port[1] and the Savoyards and Genoese struggled for control of Oneglia during the Second Genoese-Savoyard War.[2] Oneglia resisted Napoleon during his invasion of Italy.[1] As a reward, it was made seat of the province in 1814 but in 1860 became part of the province of Porto Maurizio until 1923.[1]
In the early 1930s, the area of the city now hosting the new train station was the heart of Liguria's economy, due to important oil routes crossing it.
