How do the people depend on their environment?
In Italy, farmers harvest crops for food. They grow olive trees and use the olives to make olive oil that is exported throughout the world. Also, grapes are grown in vineyards that are made into wine. Italy is a peninsula that has harbours for trade and fishing. There is a river in Rome (Italy's capital) that is beneficial for transportation. In Venice, the streets are made up of waterways that are used to go from place to place.
