Editing Italian Riviera (section)

==Overview==
The Riviera's centre is [[Genoa]], which divides it into two main sections: the '''Riviera di Ponente''' ("the coast of the setting sun"), extending westwards from Genoa to the French border; and the '''Riviera di Levante''' ("the coast of the rising sun") between Genoa and Capo Corvo.

It is known for its mild climate and its reputation for a relaxed way of life, old fishing ports, and landscapes. It has been a popular destination for travellers and [[tourism|tourists]] since the time of [[Byron]] and [[Percy Bysshe Shelley|Percy Shelley]].

Many villages and towns in the area are internationally known, such as [[Portofino]], [[Bordighera]], [[Lerici]] and the [[Cinque Terre]]. Many villages of Italian Riviera are counted among [[I Borghi più belli d'Italia]] ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").<ref>{{cite web|url=https://borghipiubelliditalia.it/liguria/|title=Liguria|access-date=31 July 2023|language=it}}</ref>

The part of the Riviera di Ponente centred on [[Savona]], is called the '''Riviera delle Palme''' (the Riviera of palms); the part centred on [[Sanremo, Italy|Sanremo]], is the '''Riviera dei Fiori''', after the long-established [[flower]] growing industry.
