A network of innovative digital tools to improve public information, enhance cultural and tourist heritage, and make the city increasingly accessible to citizens and visitors.
1. What we have achieved
The Municipality of Imperia has created and installed five single-sided touch screen digital totems in five strategic locations around the city.
The devices, characterised by a burgundy-coloured structure and a 55-inch screen , constitute a coordinated network of public information and digital communication.
The project introduces modern, recognizable, and easily accessible technological tools into the urban space, designed to simplify information access and knowledge of the municipal area.

The five totems were installed in the following locations:
The choice of locations responds to the need to make information services available in the most frequently visited places, along pedestrian routes, areas of tourist interest, public spaces, and meeting points.
The new totems thus represent a further element in the city's innovation journey, integrating technology, institutional communication, and the enhancement of urban spaces.

2. Project objectives
The project was created to make access to information about the city, its cultural and museum offerings, and events simpler and more immediate , improving the orientation of citizens and tourists.
The totems are placed along pedestrian paths and in places frequented by families, students, cyclists, and visitors, thus transforming passageways into access points to municipal services and information.
Through these digital tools, the Municipality intends to promote more direct, effective, and recognizable communication, while simultaneously promoting the cultural heritage, initiatives, and opportunities offered by the area.
The solution adopted also aims to make communication in public spaces more homogeneous and to reduce the need for temporary and uncoordinated signage.
The goal is to build a coordinated and easily updated information network, capable of guiding citizens and visitors in discovering the city and improving the use of public spaces.
3. Investment
The project was implemented as part of initiatives dedicated to urban development, innovation, and improving information services in the area.
The intervention is included in the Liguria Regional Programme FESR 2021–2027 , OP 5 – Action 5.1.1 , within the Territorial Strategy “Culture, Territory, Sustainability – Living the future together” , also dedicated to digital application.
The investment contributes to the modernization of the city's communication tools and the enhancement of public spaces, through technological solutions geared towards information accessibility and the promotion of the area.
