Province of Savona, Liguria
A rare combination of sea and mountains, the province includes regional parks and protected areas, spectacular caves rich of prehistoric remains in the Val Varatella and Toirano, and the famous Western Riviera.
The hinterland is almost entirely covered by forests, which account for 64% of the territory, and green valleys, with the northern area occupied by the Alps and Apennines that join at the Col Cadibona.
