The current oratory of San Pietro Apostolo is considered, on the basis of statements by some nineteenth-century historians, the oldest religious building in the city of Imperia. However, there are no documents that allow us to establish with certainty the date of the first construction, which is estimated at the twelfth or thirteenth century. Chapel of the Merchants' Company, it later became the property of the De Verdonis (1400) and Barla (1500) families who transformed it into a noble chapel. Since 11 September 1599 it has belonged to the Company of the Disciplinanti under the auspices of St. Peter the Apostle, whose name was later simplified to the Confraternity of St. Peter the Apostle, and only from that date can we fix its history as a sacred building intended for Confraternity worship.
