PS I can prove my point with Vissani's last 9-volume cookbook that is divided along the North-Centro-South divisions. Liguria is in Volume 2 (antipasti & primi) Vol. 5 (second) and Vol. 8 (deserts). Mmmmmmmm
Northerners like to claim Liguria because of Genova and the general desire to consider anything economically viable as theirs
I think you're right, though, you gotta cross the mountains into Piemonte to be in the true north.
