Explore Live Cams in Italy

Italy (Italia) is a long, boot-shaped peninsula reaching into the Mediterranean, covering about 116,350 square miles (301,340 km²) together with the big islands of Sicily and Sardinia. The Alps curve across the north, the Apennine mountains run down its spine, and rocky coasts, beaches and islands surround it on three sides.

Its most famous natural landmarks include the Dolomites, jagged pale peaks in the northeast that are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its volcanoes. Etna in Sicily is the highest active volcano in Europe, Vesuvius looms over the Bay of Naples, and little Stromboli has been erupting almost constantly for thousands of years.

In the 1800s, the last Alpine ibex in the world survived only in what is now Gran Paradiso, Italy's first national park, and they now roam the Alps again. Rare Marsican brown bears live in the Apennines of Abruzzo, and the Italian wolf, the national animal, has spread back across much of the country.

Did You Know? Italy has more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country on Earth, from ancient Rome and Venice to the Dolomites and Mount Etna.
