The students of the "Inglese turistico avanzato" ESF course organized by FIRE and promoted by the Provincia di Genova drafted this miss-not list dedicated to Liguria.
As their teacher, I only went through some minor editing.
They really did a good job (didn't they?), but please post in your comments and hints, thanks!
