that lies on the Ligurian Sea in Northwestern Italy.
Liguria borders France to the west, Piedmont to the north, and Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna to the east. Liguria is divided into four provinces: Genova, Imperia, La Spezia, and Savona. Genova is the capital and an important seaport. Liguria's surface consists of mountains and hills, teeming with woods. Both the Alps and the Apennine mountains run through Liguria's 2,092 square miles of land.
