Chiavari
Italy, officially the Italian Republic or Repubblica Italiana, is a Southern European country comprising of the Po River valley, the Italian Peninsula and the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. It is shaped like a boot and for this reason Italians commonly call it lo Stivale, the boot or, due to its prevalent peninsular geographical nature, la Penisola, the Peninsula.
Inhabitants of Italy are referred to as Italians. Their official language is Standard Italian, descendant of Tuscan dialect and a direct descendant of Latin. The word Italy is derived from the Homeric Aeolic word which means bull. Italy is subject to highly diverse weather conditions in autumn, winter, and spring. The country has the fifth-highest population density in Europe at 193 persons per square kilometer. Today, despite regional variations in the form of accents and vowel emphasis, Italian is fully comprehensible to most throughout the country.
Chiavari is a town on the Italian Riviera in the Province of Genoa, Liguria. It is located near the mouth of the Entella River in the center of a fertile plain bordered by mountains. On the southwest corner of the region, it comes down to the sea. As of 2004, the town recorded a population of approximately 28,000 inhabitants.
Chiavari can also be described as the best geographical environment and can trace its origins back to prehistoric times. This is evident from the archaeological sites found throughout the place. Today, one can also learn about its history, from its earliest times and gain enthusiasm in its natural beauty and populace.
