NATURE IN ITALY

The natural nature in Italy can be divided into six regions: The Italian Alps, the Po Valley, the Apulian foreland, the Tyrrhenian foreland, the islands and the Apennines. The latter region is also divided into northern, central, southern and Calabrian Apennines. While mountain valleys, glaciers and high peaks dominate the Italian Alps, the Po Valley geographically located below is one of the most fertile regions of Italy. The 652 km long Po River is the main lifeline of the entire region and, in combination with a favourable climate, is responsible for excellent agricultural conditions.
The Apennines consists mainly of limestone and dolomite. A particularly appealing is the change of
vegetation at higher altitudes, where hard-leaf plants give way to extensive meadows and heaths. The Apulian foreland is also dominated by limestone offering large areas of pasture and romantic shores. The Tyrrhenian foreland, which stretches from Florence to Naples and is home to the cradle of Roman civilisation, is of an exceedingly volcanic nature. While, Mount Etna aside, karsified limestones characterises Sicily, Sardinia is very calm geologically attracting visitors with mountainous regions vary
