Answer:
La Riviera ligure is an Italian equivalent of 'Italian Riviera'. In the word by word translation, the feminine definite article 'la' means 'the'. The feminine gender noun 'Riviera' means 'coast, seashore'. The adjective/noun 'ligure' means 'Ligurian'. The phrase is pronounced 'lah ree-vee-EH-rah lee-GOO-ray'.
There must be around 100 towns of interest along the Italian stretch of Italy's and France's Riviera cultures. The main town is the big port city of Genoa. No other town rivals Genoa in size and opportunity. But Portofino, Ventimiglia, and just under 40 others stand out because of their beaches, their historic sites, and their inviting lifestyles. Such towns include the following:

Bogliasco, Bordighera, and Borgio Verezzi
Camogli, Colletta di Castelbianco, Cervo, Chiavari, Cinque Terre, and Comiglia
