Liguria
Liguria
Territory: Liguria, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, is shaped as an imposing arc, with the Gulf of Genoa in its center. It is a mountainous and hilly region, which includes part of the Maritime Alps and the Ligurian Appenines, plunging almost into the sea, leaving scant space to the plains, which form a narrow coast-line. Here landscapes of great beauty can be admired. The region is divided in two sections: the Riviera di Ponente (to the west), from Ventimiglia to Genoa, and the Riviera di Levante (to the east), from Genoa to La Spezia. The terminal strip of the Riviera di Levante is known as "Le Cinque Terre" (the Five Lands) and still today represents a beautiful example of intact landscape.
Major Cities: The regional capital is Genoa. Other important cities are Imperia, Sevona and La Spezia and are capitals of the respective provinces.
