Tovo San Giacomo
Built around the rural hamlets of Tovo and Bardino, Tovo San Giacomo grew into a scattered municipality in Liguria’s Val Maremola. The settlement occupies wooded foothills behind the Riviera di Ponente, where local roads connect homes, small agricultural plots and hillsides rather than a single compact centre. Its territory lies inland from the Ligurian coast, in a zone where the Mediterranean shore gives way to the Ligurian Alps. Bardino Nuovo is home to the Museo dell’Orologio da Torre G. B. Bergallo, devoted to tower clocks and the local Bergallo clockmaking tradition. Tovo San Giacomo retains the everyday rural character of the Savona hinterland while remaining closely tied to coastal Liguria.

In the hamlet of Bardino Nuovo, the Museo dell’Orologio da Torre G. B. Bergallo preserves the local tradition of tower-clock making.

Liguria is best known within Italy for the Cinque Terre, five historic coastal villages set above the Ligurian Sea. This narrow north-western region runs between the sea and the Ligurian Alps and Apennines, giving it a densely settled coastline, steep terraces and compact inland valleys. Genoa, its capital, developed as one of the Mediterranean’s great maritime powers; its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The region is also closely associated with pesto alla Genovese, traditionally made with basil, pine nuts, garlic, cheese and olive oil.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
