Savona (Sàn-na in the local dialect of Ligurian) is a seaport and comune in the northern Italian region of Liguria, capital of the province of Savona, in the Riviera di Ponente on the Mediterranean Sea, at sea-level.
Savona is the Roman Savo of the Ingauni, where, according to Livy, Mago stored his booty in the Second Punic War.
In 1746 Savona was captured by the king of Sardinia, but it was restored to Genoa by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle.
Savona officially adopted the city flag on may 6, 1994 when some changes in the town Statute came into force (30 days after they appeared on the Official Bulletin of Regione Liguria, april 6, 1994).
Savona formally had been a free state-city since april 10, 1191 when the Marquis of Savona waived his last rights in favour of the Commune, up to october 29, 1528 after the definitive surrender in front of the more powerful neighbour Genoa.
After the moorish incursions in middleages Savona became the principal town of the marquisade of Savona (and after of Carretto), born from the division of the Marquisade of Monferrato.
