Exploring Liguria

Liguria divides neatly into two parts. The western
coastline, known as the Riviera di Ponente, is a thin strip
of coastal plain stretching across to the French border,
while the eastern coastline, or Riviera di Levante, is more
rugged and picturesque, descending directly into
the sea. Between the two lengths of coast lies the
region’s capital and biggest port, Genoa (Genova).
The faded elegance of the tranquil coastal villages
contrasts with this cramped and busy port which snakes
along the coast, hemmed in between the sea and the Stag motif of the city of Cervo, above
mountains rising steeply behind it. the cathedral doors Milano
