 In 1752 a dispute arose between the Bishop and the Chapter of Ventimiglia.The custom had been that the Tenth ("decima"), which was owed to the bishop and the Tenth owed to the Chapter in the town of Ventimiglia and in eight villages and rural districts, were collected at the same time by the same officials.The collection officials were appointed in alternate years by the bishop and the Chapter, and the collections were placed in one warehouse.
