Italy is a beautiful country covering 116,300 square miles area in total. Italy separates from Switzerland, France, Slovenia, and Austria to the north with the Alps. Italy is also surrounded by the Adriatic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Ligurian Sea, and the Ionian Sea. Plain areas are practically limited to the Po valley’s great northern triangle.
Plain areas cover only 1/5th of the total area of Italy. The remaining area is roughly divided between mountainous and hilly land and provides variations in the temperate climate.
