Vele d’Epoca 2012
One of the most eagerly awaited event of this summer in Imperia is going to start: the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge Vele d’Epoca di Imperia 2012. 
Since september 5th to 9th about 80 historical sailing boats – the eldest had been crafted in 1897 – will berth in the port of Imperia and will challenge in dayly regattas. Everyone will be able to admire their sails filled by the wind.
It’s a show visible from the coast, the docks or panoramic places like the loggias of Santa Chiara or Capo Berta; but the most amazing sight is from the sea, no doubt: two motorships offer a mini-cruise service, they are Dea Diana (+393472356234) and Corsara (+39336688829).
You’ll enjoy a lot of side events: every evening Borgo Marina has a feast in honor of these old ladies of the sea. So you will walk nearby the queens of the sea listening to the music and tasting the local typical dishes.
The association we belong to “Tesori della riviera” will set up an old ligurian village, with a live representation of old crafts: ”u massacan” who builds drystones, “u ferà” who makes horseshoes and shoes horses and other activities of the old times.
