Briga Alta

Briga Alta has served as an Italian border community in Piedmont since 1947. Its scattered hamlets—Upega, Carnino and Piaggia—lie in the upper Tanaro valley amid the Ligurian Alps, close to the French frontier and the regional boundary with Liguria. The municipality was created after the post-war division of the former Briga Marittima, most of which became the French town of La Brigue. Stone-built settlements and long-used mountain routes reflect an Alpine culture shaped by isolation, livestock grazing and cross-border connections.
