		Italy shares its borders with Switzerland and Austria on the north; Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea on the east; the Ionian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea on the south; the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Ligurian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea on the west; and France on the northwest.

		N Italy, made up largely of a vast plain that is contained by the Alps in the N and drained by the Po River and its tributaries, comprises the regions of Liguria, Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta (see Aosta, Valle d’), Lombardy, Trentino–alto Adige, Venetia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and part of Emilia-Romagna (which extends into central Italy).
		The history of Italy from the 5th century B.C. to the 5th century A.D. is largely that of the growth of Rome and of the Roman Empire, of which Italy was the core.
		After the war, Italy’s borders were established by the peace treaty of 1947, which assigned several small Alpine districts to France; the Dodecanese to Greece; and Trieste, Istria, most of Venezia Giulia, and several Adriatic islands to the former Yugoslavia and to the Free Territory of Trieste.

	ITALY
		Italy is called "il Belpaese" (Italian for beautiful country) by its inhabitants, due to the beauty and variety of its landscapes and for having the world's largest artistic patrimony; the country is home to the greatest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites (41 as of July 13, 2006).
		Today, Italy is a highly developed country with the 7th highest GDP in 2006, a member of the G8 and a founding member of what is now the European Union, having signed the Treaty of Rome in 1957.
		Italy supported Franco's revolution in Spanish civil war and Hitler's pretensions in central Europe, accepting the annexation of Austria to Germany in 1938, although the disappearance of a buffer state between mighty Germany and Italy was unfavourable for the country.

		Italy has the characteristic shape of a riding hoot, of which the top is represented by the Alps, the seam by the Apennines, and the toe, the heel, and the spur, respectively, by the peninsulas of Calabria, Salento, and Gargano.
		Italy was comforted by all the civilized nations, and especially the United States, which built a town in the beautiful district of Santa Cecilia, in the neighbourhood of Messina, with nearly 1500 frame houses, after the fashion of Swiss chalets, prettily finished, and painted in white.
		In peninsular and in insular Italy the winter rains, on the contrary, are heaviest, and the absence of drainage causes the waters that overflow from the river-beds to inundate the lowlands of the coast and thereby to develop malaria.
