Italy's main port, the capital of Liguria (5)

I believe the answer is:

genoa

(Other definitions for genoa that I've seen before include "Seaport in northwestern Italy" , "City of Italy" , "Italian city; sail" , "Type of rich fruit cake" , "NW Italian sea port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
