Geography

The municipality of Borgio Verezzi is composed by the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Borgio and Verezzi.

Borgio's old downtown stands atop a low hill, while the modern expansions cover the coastal plain and the foothills of the Caprazoppa plateau. Verezzi is divided into several very characteristic hamlets on the hillside, at some 200 metres (660 ft) above sea level. The main borough of Verezzi, Piazza, during summer hosts a theater festival of national relevance.
