hi there,

I am new here, so excuse me please if i sound too obvious or too straight-to-the-point.
I tried searching for my topic inside the forum but i had no luck, guess there aren't many italians here or that the problem never showed up.

so I'll try and fire away with my question: is there a way to extract a very discrete list of geonames from the downloadable file dump?

I need for a project all (but ONLY) the possible geonames limited inside the italian region named "Liguria", I saw that in the webservice you could actually do just that, filtering names in that way and getting just the ones from one region, but couldn't do the same from the big txt files collecting all of the name places from each country, I couldn't understand if i do have an easy way to get the ones I am interested in, or not.

again, sorry if I sound too unpolite or too straight, but i'd be very grateful if someone could teach me this thing.

thank you in advance for your help and your patience, see you next time
