{'salamanca': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'spain': [12, 3, 9, 5], 'cities': [2, 1, 1, 1], 'mexico': [5, 1, 4, 10], 'belgium': [6, 2, 8, 4], 'bruges': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'italy': [14, 5, 13, 11], 'country': [27, 2, 36, 66], 'cancun': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'cannes': [0, 0, 2, 0]}

The question is about matching cities with their correct countries. Here`s the breakdown of each option:

Option 1: Salamanca is indeed in Spain. It is famous for its Renaissance architecture and is home to one of the oldest universities in the world.

Option 2: Cannes is actually not in Italy, it is situated on the French Riviera and is in France. Thus, option 2 is incorrect, making it the correct answer to the question.

Option 3: Cancun is correctly placed in Mexico. It`s a well-known tourist destination famous for its beaches.

Option 4: Bruges, like Salamanca and Cancun, is also correctly matched with its country. The city is in Belgium and is often referred to as the `Venice of the North` due to its canal system.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, Cannes is in France, not Italy.
