Liguria is a northwestern region of Italy, on the Ligurian Sea. 2,000 years ago the whole northwestern part of Italy, including what are now Piedmont and Lombardy, were inhabited by the Liguris, the people from whom this region gets its name. Roads and trains run the length of the coast, connecting the Riviere with France and the rest of Italy. The popular cities of San Remo and Genoa are located in Liguria. Liguria is home to seaside resort towns in the style of Cannes and Monaco, dozens of sandy, rocky and pebbly beaches, in Genoa the country's largest commercial and naval port. Mountains separate it from Piedmont to the north, Emilia-Romagna to the east and Tuscany to the south.
