Liguria overlooks the Ligurian Sea, and borders France.
It takes its name Liguria from the ancient population and civilization of the Ligurians, name that we find in ancient Greek texts, who inhabited these lands since before 2000 BC.
For centuries the Liguria was in contact with the Etruscans, the Celts, the Romans, the Greeks and the Genoa’s port has always been a renowned place of commercial trade.
In Liguria there are natural or built by man beauties: the Flower’s Riviera near the border with France, and the Cinque Terre, Portofino, Porto Venere at East of Genoa.
