Italy occupies not only the lands of the Apennine peninsula (due to the peculiar shape of the country on the map it can not be confused with any other state). Italy also occupies the island of Sardinia, Sicily (the largest ones ) and other less vast ones.

France flanks from the west, Austria and Switzerland - from the north, and Italy shares the north-eastern border with Slovenia. Washed by five seas, Italy is predominantly mountainous country. The northern part is occupied by the southern slopes of the Alps, where there are numerous skiing resorts. The highest mountain peak in Europe is Mont Blanc, which is also located in sunny Italy.

It is unusual, but true fact that the territory of Italy has hospitably placed two small states: the Republic of San Marino and the world-renowned center of Catholicism - the Vatican.

Tourists are attracted by the ancient capital of Italy (Rome), picturesque Naples, fans of shopping - by fashionable Milan. And Italian cuisine recognized as the best in the world is certainly a topic for a separate article. it's no coincidence that everywhere in different countries, there are Italian restaurants.

Another interesting and quite joyful for all Italians fact is that the duration of their (the Italians’) lives is the longest among estimations of other European countries. The country's population is about 57 million people, 98% of whom are Italians.

Italian language is the official one.
