Wikipedia

  1. Italian Peninsula

    The Italian Peninsula (Italian: penisola italica or penisola italiana), also known as the Italic Peninsula or the Apennine Peninsula, is a peninsula extending from the southern Alps in the north to the central Mediterranean Sea in the south. It is nicknamed lo Stivale (the Boot). Three smaller peninsulas contribute to this characteristic shape, namely Calabria (the "toe"), Salento (the "heel") and Gargano (the "spur"). The backbone of the Italian Peninsula consists of the Apennine Mountains, from which it takes one of its names. The peninsula comprises much of Italy, and also includes the microstates of San Marino and Vatican City.

  1. Italian Peninsula

    The Italian Peninsula, Apennine Peninsula or Mainland Italy, also Italy is the central and the smallest of the three large peninsulas of Southern Europe, spanning 1,000 km from the Po Valley in the north to the central Mediterranean Sea in the south. The peninsula's shape gives it the nickname Lo Stivale. Three smaller peninsulas contribute to this characteristic shape, namely Calabria, Salento and Gargano. Since the reign of Roman Emperor Augustus, the northern border of the peninsula has been set on the Alps watershed, but geographically it coincides with a line extending from the Magra to the Rubicon rivers, north of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, which excludes the Po Valley and the southern slope of the Alps. Nearly all of the peninsula is part of the state of the Italian Republic, apart from San Marino and the Vatican City. Additionally, Sicily, Elba and other smaller islands, such as Palagruža, belonging to Croatia, are usually considered as islands off the peninsula and in this sense geographically grouped along with it.
