The Geography of Italy Italy was the most important land in the western Mediterranean area. It is very important to appreciate the the geography of this area for an appropriate understanding of its history and to know for certain that it was destined to be the home of a great civilization, just as Jerusalem, was destined to be the home of a great king. The North On the north , Italy is, for the most part, protected by the tremendous mountains known as the Alps, which acted as a barrier wall against the barbarians of central Europe. The West In the western portion of Italy are large fertile plains which extend all the way to the Sea. The East Along the eastern coast and running from north to south are the Apennine mountains, which make the eastern part of Italy almost innaccessible. These mountains divided the many peoples of Italy, not into many city-states as in Greece, but into two classes: the poor, mountain tribes, and the wealthy plainsmen. The Coast Throughout Italy's 2000 miles of coastland, there are actually very few deep bays and good harbors. If any decent ones did exist they were generally on the south or western coasts. Facing West Geographically Italy and Rome faced west. This may be why the Romans turned an early gaze upon Spain, Gaul, and Britain. Italy's central position was extremely helpful in dominating the whole Mediterranean area once they had become united as a single state.

Italy: Its Geography and Climate The peninsula of Italy extends from the southernmost part of the continent of Europe for 650 miles to the southeast into the Mediterranean Sea. It divides the Adriatic Sea to the northeast from a portion of the Mediterranean named the Tyrrhenian Sea to the southwest. Italy is shaped like a lady's spiked high heeled boot, with the Gulf of Taranto forming the deep arch between the high spike heel and the sharply pointed toe. Off to the West across the Tyrrhenian Sea lie two great islands, Corsica and Sardinia. To the South, across the narrow and often turbulent Straits of Messina lies the triangular island of Sicily. The western Italian peninsula and Sicily are strongly volcanic in origin, with many extinct volcanoes forming mountain peaks. Three active volcanoes exist in the region today. Vesuvius is situated on the Bay of Naples on the Campanian coast, Stromboli is on one of the Lipari islands, and Etna remains active on the island of Sicily.

The peaceful "heel of the boot" is renown for its stunning whitewashed coastal homesteads, serene hills cloaked in olive groves and vineyards, and medieval villages connected by narrow, winding streets. The natural beauty of the area's valleys and rocky hills, punctuated by these historic cities, reflect the area's diverse past as a strategic gateway to the east. More than seventy-five percent of this beautiful country is mountainous or hilly, leaving less than one quarter of its land area made up of plains. Mediterranean Maiden Italy's unique boot shape makes it one of the most easily recognized countries in the world! The 100 to150 mile-wide peninsula stretches 760 miles into the Mediterranean Ocean, making it the fourth largest country in Western Europe. To see a map of Italy, click here.

In the winter these bring winter rain particularly to the mountains. Storms like the Mistral can bring snow and gales. Heavy thunderstorms bring the only summer rain and this rapidly evaporates. The Scirocco is a hot dry wind from Africa. The graphs show h w the Mediterranean climate has local variations. July temperatures are similar, but rainfall is lower the south, and much lower in the summer than in the winter. Surrounded by warm seas and with mountains close by, the coast always has a breeze. Map 2 shows that large areas of Italy average 24 o C all summer. The hot, dry Sirocco winds are short lived but can scorch crops and make life unpleasant.

An era of parliamentary government came to a close in the early 1920s when Benito MUSSOLINI established a Fascist dictatorship. His disastrous alliance with Nazi Germany led to Italy's defeat in World War II. A democratic republic replaced the monarchy in 1946 and economic revival followed. Italy was a charter member of NATO and the European Economic Community (EEC). It has been at the forefront of European economic and political unification, joining the European Monetary Union in 1999. Persistent problems include illegal immigration, organized crime, corruption, high unemployment, and the low incomes and technical standards of southern Italy compared with the prosperous north.
