Italy consists predominantly of a large peninsula (the Italian Peninsula) with
a distinctive boot shape that extends into the Mediterranean Sea, where together
with its two main islands - Sicily and Sardinia - it creates distinct bodies
of water, such as the Adriatic Sea to the north-east, the Ionian Sea to the
south-east, the Tyrrhenian Sea to the south-west and finally the Ligurian Sea
to the north-west. For a complete list of the islands of Italy, see this comprehensive
list.

The Apennine mountains form the backbone of this peninsula, leading north-west to where they join the Alps, the mountain range that then forms an arc enclosing Italy from the north. Here is also found a large alluvial plain, the Po-Venetian plain, drained by the Po River — which is Italy's biggest river with 652 km — and its many tributaries flowing down from the Alps (Dora Baltea, 160 km, Sesia, 138 km, Ticino, 248 km, Adda, 313 km, Oglio, 280 km, Mincio), 194 km, and Apennines (Tanaro, 276 km, Trebbia, 115 km, Taro, 115 km, Secchia, 172 km, Panaro, 148 km).
Other well-known or importants rivers include the Tiber (Tevere) (405 km), Adige (410 km), Arno (241 km), Piave (220 km), Reno (212 km), Volturno (175 km), Tagliamento (170 km), Liri-Garigliano (158 km), Isonzo (136 km).
Its highest point is Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco) at 4,810 metres (15,781 feet)3. Italy is more typically associated with two famous volcanoes: the currently dormant Vesuvius near Naples and the very active Etna on Sicily.
Italy is subdivided into 20 regions (regioni, singular regione). Five of these
regions enjoy a special autonomous status that enables them to enact legislation
on some of their specific local matters, and are marked by an *:

3. Calabria (Catanzaro)
4. Campania (Naples, Napoli)

8. Liguria (Genoa, Genova)
9. Lombardy, Lombardia (Milan, Milano)
10. Marche, Marches (Ancona)
11. Molise, (Campobasso)
12. Piedmont, Piemonte (Turin, Torino)
13. Apulia, Puglia (Bari)
14. Sardinia*, Sardegna (Cagliari)

17. Trentino-South Tyrol*, Trentino-Alto Adige, (Trento)
18. Umbria (Perugia)
19. Sicily*, Sicilia (Palermo)

All regions except the Aosta Valley are further subdivided into two or more provinces (provincias). The lowest level of division is the municipality (comune).
