La Spezia is a historical left-wing stronghold which has recently voted somewhat comfortably for the right but still not as much as the national - or regional - average. It grew massively in the late 19th and early 20th century gaining an economy based around shipping activities and heavy defense industry, nowadays is more and more tied to tourism and has stopped the decline better than much of this region, and is neither poor nor rich on the whole.

I imagine it would be moderately but safely left-leaning, having been more so in the past, in most countries. However I am not sure where the navy factor might have a bigger or smaller (rightwards) effect.
Since people are picking specific countries and of course boring obvious ones I'll go with Portugal instead. Given its actual location I think it's reasonable to assume La Spezia would be in the periphery of the Communist belt* - relatedly it'd be usually safe for PS, with a higher than average vote for BE and now for CHEGA, while I am unsure about IL. Setúbal could be a good enough analogy (or Sines although it is much smaller).

*This may not be true but I am not in the mood for a debate on whether Alentejo/Extremadura/Andalusia are more like the Mezzogiorno or more like the historically mezzadria-heavy Red Regions.
