How do you feel about Italy?
Italy is located in Southern Europe, consisting of a peninsula extending into the Mediterranean along with islands such as Sicily and Sardinia. Italian is the main language. The Alps lie to the north, and the Apennine range runs down the length of the peninsula. Much of the country has a Mediterranean climate, while the north is closer to continental conditions. Renaissance art and architecture, and cuisine such as pasta and pizza, are known worldwide.
