Physical Characteristics
Italy has many unique landforms, not to mention the country itself is shaped like a boot. The Alpine Mountains and Italian alps are located in the north. There is some fertile soil for farmland, but the southern parts sometimes have droughts. In the winter, it is usually cold and rainy or mild in the south. In the summer, it is typically very hot. Italy surrounds two other countries: San Marino and Vatican City. Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius are some popular volcanoes in Italy. There are also many large, freshwater lakes. There are many different animals lurking around in Italy such as deer, brown bears, frogs, and endangered goats. There are also many species of birds: eagles, owls, falcons, and ducks. Whether you go for the sights or the food, Italy is a beautiful place.
