From the Middle Ages the town was cut in two parts: Pescino (fisher) and Corte. The two parts had always small fights. In this way, for stop all this, the town goes under Rapallo until 1797 when the two parts obtained own administrations.

They have also now introduced a Frequent Flier Programme. El Al network is restricted only to the United States and Europe. They do not fly directly to any other continent.
