Geography (geografia)
Italy is a boot-shaped peninsula that juts out of southern Europe into the Adriatic
Sea, Tyrrhenian Sea, Mediterranean Sea and other waters. Its location has played
an important role throughout its history.The sea surrounds Italy, and mountains
crisscross the interior, dividing the land into regions. The Alps cut across the top of
the country and are streaked with long, thin glacial lakes. From the western end of
the Alps, the Apennines mountains stretch south down the entire peninsula.West
of the Apennines are wooded hills that are home to many of Italy’s historic cities,
including Rome. In the south are hot, dry coastlands and fertile plains where olives,
almonds, figs and other crops are grown.
