Rezzo (Ligurian :Ressu^[1]) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Imperia in the Italian region Liguria, located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southwest of Genoa and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) northwest of Imperia.

Ligurian (Romance language) Gallo-Romance language

Ligurian is a Gallo-Italic language spoken in Liguria in Northern Italy, parts of the Mediterranean coastal zone of France, Monaco and in the villages of Carloforte and Calasetta in Sardinia. It is part of the Gallo-Italic and Western Romance dialect continuum. The Genoese (Zeneize), spoken in Genoa, the capital of Liguria, is the language's prestige dialect on which the standard is based.

The comune is a basic administrative division in Italy, roughly equivalent to a township or municipality.

The Province of Imperia is a mountainous and hilly province, in the Liguria region of Italy, situated between France to the north and the Ligurian Sea, an arm of the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Its capital is the city of Imperia.

Lavina is a frazione of the municipality of Rezzo, in Liguria, northern Italy. Up to 1928 it was a self-standing comune.

The Giara di Rezzo is a 14-kilometre (8.7 mi) creek of Liguria, Italy.
