This sanctuary of St. Joseph Imperia is more precisely in the neighborhood of Porto Maurizio Fondura in front of the Savona-Ventimiglia railway line. When in 1918 the Oblates of St. Joseph of Asti came to this corner of Liguria, they found that site in a small church dedicated to St. Joseph, built in the second half of the initiative of a pious lady of the place. To be precise, this was already a second church dedicated to the same saint, in that there existed an earlier demolished for the passage of the railway. Around this chapel soon began to flourish, the devotion to St. Joseph, as well as several works of apostolate: oratory, associations, and finally a great college boarding school. Today we see the great distance written that there stands "Istituto S. Joseph. " For the needs of the district and the adjacent valley, it was decided to build beside the old chapel and so a larger church was laid the first stone in 1931. Just two years after the building was designed in the style composite and harmonious lines Eng. Sicari, was consecrated by the Bishop of Albenga, still without plaster and time. The facade, red brick, the center presents the canopy and on the high pinnacle in the central white statue of St. Joseph and Child. A fast octagonal dome covers the cruise. In the following years the interior has been upgraded with ornaments and paintings, which give a tone of elegance and mystique. It has an original Terrazzo floors and a lovely altar in polychrome marble. The blade and the inner wall of the facade there are beautiful depictions of the patron, the work of Piero from the basket, the school Reffo of Turin. The painting depicts St. Joseph altar sat on his knee which leads the child Jesus who blesses the faithful representatives in the knee. In 1975 the church was erected in the parish.
