Pieve di Teco is a picturesque medieval town located in the Arroscia Valley, within the province of Imperia in Liguria, northwestern Italy. Founded in 1233 by Marquis Antonio di Clavesana, it served as a strategic hub connecting Liguria and Piedmont, facilitating trade and cultural exchange between the coast and inland regions. The town is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture, notably the extensive Gothic arcades along Corso Mario Ponzoni. These covered walkways, known as “portici,” are among the longest in Liguria and historically hosted bustling artisan workshops and markets
