San Pietro (Imaguan Creole: Petastad) is the second largest city in Imagua and the Assimas, and the capital of the Assimas. Located on the northern shore of Avitabile Island, San Pietro is the largest city in the country to not be its own parish, instead being subordinate to the Assimas Parish.
Established in 1601 by Ordennyan settlers as the city of Peterstad, it was initially an insignificant settlement under Estmere captured Imagua. Following the fall of Cuanstad, the Ordennyans kept control over the Assimas Islands, causing the town to grow, as many government officials previously based in Cuanstad moved to Peterstad.
In 1813, Eldmark sold the Assimas Islands to Etruria, and the Etrurians immediately set San Pietro up as the capital of their colony. Over the next century and a half, San Pietro became the main centre of Etrurian rule, with the city itself being aggressively Etrurianized. In addition, San Pietro became a major industrial centre, rivaled only by that of Cuanstad in the immediate vicinity of the Arucian Sea.
Etymology
The name San Pietro derives from the name Saint Peter in the Etrurian language.
However, San Pietro is an Etrurian translation of the Ostisk name, Peterstad, which means Peter's town, with Peter referring to Saint Peter, as it was established on 29 June, 1601 by Ordennyan settlers. The Ostisk name serves as the origin for the name of the town in Imaguan Creole, Petastad.
