Albissola Marina is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Savona in the Italian region Liguria, located about 35 km west of Genoa and about 4 km northeast of Savona.
[edit] History
Albissola Marina was a settlement of the Ingauni (a tribe of the Ligures), later conquered by the Romans and called Alba Docilia (now in the communal territory of Albisola Superiore). In the High Middle Ages it was part of the county of Vado, and then of the marquisate of Savona and that of Albisola (1122). In 1343 it was acquired by the Republic of Genoa, to which it remained (with a certain degree of autonomy) until 1797.
