Province of Savona

The province of Savona extends across 1,545 square kilometers along the Mediterranean coast, encompassing 69 municipalities between Genoa and the French border.

The region evolved from a Roman settlement to a medieval commune, facing conflicts with Genoa that resulted in the destruction of its port in 1440.

The province received the Gold Medal of Military Valor for its resistance movements and sacrifices during World War II, marking its commitment to freedom.

The provincial territory connects the Mediterranean Sea to Piedmont through mountain passes, serving as a vital transportation corridor for northern Italy.

The province maintains numerous small medieval settlements in its interior, with ancient stone buildings and narrow streets dating from the 12th century.
