The provincia of la Spezia: http://www.turismoprovincia.laspezia.it/en/destinations/golfo-dei-poeti/...The provincia of Imperia: http://www.visitrivieradeifiori.it/The city of Genoa: http://www.genova-turismo.it/spip.php?lang=en (this site is painfully slow to load, but once up works very well and is massively informative).Almost all of the larger comunes have tourist information on their websites, and many of the very small ones. Do a Google search on 'comune' 'name of place' and 'turismo'. But because of the low number of English speaking tourists in much of Liguria, rather few of these sites are good in English. Among the ones which are, are Alassio, Santa Margherita Ligure and Sestri Levante.
