a town of Italy, in the territory of Genoa. It is the see of a bishop, and is a very ancient, handsome town, but not well peopled, on account of the insalubrity of the air. It is seated in a very beautiful plain, which is well cultivated; and the outside of the town is surrounded with olive-trees. It is a seaport, about 30 miles south-west of Genoa. Long. 8. 13. E. Lat. 44. 4. N.
