Triora

[4] The municipality of Triora contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Bregalla, Cetta, Creppo, Goina, Loreto, Monesi, Realdo, Verdeggia, and Saccarello.

It also has been awarded a Touring Club Italiano Bandiera arancione, a similarly prestigious achievement recognizing the best places for tourists to enjoy.

Moraldo had been a butler in France of the Italian banker Angelo Donati who had taken the children under his protection in July 1942 when their parents had been deported from Nice to Auschwitz.

The whole population of the village, informed of the situation, helped actively with their protection, despite the danger due to fights and frequent Germans roundups in the area.

For this commitment to solidarity on 11 February 1999, the Yad Vashem Institute of Jerusalem awarded Francesco Moraldo the title of Righteous Among the Nations.
