About Italy
Italy is located in southern Europe along the Mediterranean Sea. It borders several countries including France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia.
It’s known for being the shape of a boot, because of its boot-like peninsula extending into the central Mediterranean Sea. This includes the island of Sardinia in the west.
The terrain in Italy is very rugged, with plains and coastal lowlands. Italy’s tallest mountain is Mont Blanc at 4,748 meters in height.
