Riviera di Levante

levante means east. I would leave the term in Italian as it refers to the part of the Riviera from Genoa to La Spezia. The Riviera from Genoa to the French border is called the Riviera di Ponente.

agree Catherine Bolton : In fact, "levante" in this case has little to do with the rising sun, but simple refers to the Riviera east of Genoa. As you look out to see from La Spezia, you'd see the sun setting over the water, but not rising!

Riviera Levante

I wouldn't translate into western riviera, which it of course means.

neutral Catherine Bolton : "Levante" means east (dove si leva il sole), not west.

Se parliamo della Riviera ligure, la lascerei senz'altro in Italiano, Riviera di Levante, specificando al massimo tra parentesi (Rising sun/Coast of the rising sun).

Se è un'altra riviera, tradurrei con Eastern Riviera.

Buon lavoro
