Amazing nature Italy is beautiful and attractive at any time of the day or year, thanks to the southern spurs of the Alpine Mountains in the north, which are a barrier protecting the country from the cold northern winds. At 1100 km, resembling the outline of a boot, are the mountain ranges of the Alps and the Padana lowland of the mainland in the north, the narrow and long Apennine Peninsula in the center and a number of large and small islands in the south. Italy is washed by four seas: Lugirian, Tyrrhenian, Ionian and Adriatic. The “boot” is characterized by three main types of relief: mountains, various heights hills and valley.

Northern Italy

The continental part of Italy, visually similar to the lapel of the Italian “jackboot”, is located in the region of the Alpine mountain ranges with the highest point Western Europe- Mont Blanc mountain. This mountain range is called the Dolomites in honor of the French geologist Deod de Dolomieu. Steep slopes with sharp cliffs, bare cliffs with deep gorges, narrow and long valleys covered with snowfields and glaciers are characteristic of the Italian Alps. Under the influence of glaciers, mountain lakes were formed here different forms and sizes. Many streams flow down from the mountains, forming a network of rivers in the Padan Lowland. In the middle of this most fertile plain flows largest river countries Po.

Central Italy

The middle part is occupied by the Apennine Mountains, which run along the entire peninsula, dividing Italy into Western and Eastern. Their length reaches 1500 km, and their height is on average 2000 km. This mountain system contains volcanoes of different types and stages of development. In Central Italy there are meadows and dry mountainous heaths, small lakes and artificially cultivated vineyards, a semi-desert area in the Tuscany region, called the Accona Desert. The Apennine Peninsula is located in a zone of seismic activity, so volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are not uncommon occurrences here.

Southern Italy

The coastal zone consists of hilly areas, usually no more than 5 km wide. On south coast There are arcuate and shallow bays cut into the land, forming beach areas of sand, pebbles and rocks. The western coast is dominated by mountainous, fertile terrain with volcanic rocks and small bays.
Sicily, Sardinia and a scattering of small islands make up the insular part of southern Italy. Characteristic feature The landscape features breathtaking panoramas of mountainous and hilly terrain with volcanic plains.

Mountains and volcanoes

Italy is considered mountainous country: the peaks of the Dolomites and Apennines, the Sabini and Nebrodi mountains cover a third of the territory of the Italian Republic. In the Western Alps, Mount Mont Blanc stretches over a distance of 50 km, which means “ white mountain" Mont Blanc is the highest peak of the Alps and Europe with a height of 4810m.

Italy is located in an area of ​​tectonic fault, so earthquakes and volcanoes, both active and extinct, have become an integral part of the life of the country. Etna, Stromboli, Vesuvius are the most famous and active volcanoes in Italy. Currently, Vesuvius is classified as an inactive volcano. It has erupted about 80 times throughout its existence, with its last lava eruption in 1944. On the island of Sicily, the mountain and at the same time the volcano Etna erupts once every three months. The permanently active Stromboli, famous for its frequent small eruptions, is located on a volcanic island of the same name.

Rivers and lakes

Millennia of movement earth's crust created unique ones in the country. Because of the mountains there is no room for long and deep rivers. The largest and most navigable is the Po River. Its length is 652 km. The second longest river is the Adige River in the north, its length is 410 km. The smallest river is the 175-meter Aril, which flows into the very large lake Garda, located at the foot of the Alps. There are about 1,500 lakes on Italian territory, some of them formed in craters long ago extinct volcanoes, such as Nemo, Vico, Albano, but most are of glacial origin - Logo Moggiore, Como. The mountainous area is rich in waterfalls. The largest and most beautiful of them is the Marble Falls, which consists of three tiers with a total height of 165 meters.

Soil resources are favorable for plowing in mountainous and hilly areas. The upper sections of the mountainous ridges of the Alps are occupied by mountain-meadow chernozem-like and mountain-forest lands. The slopes, foothills of the Alps and the center of the Padan Lowland are dominated by low-fertility brown forest land cover. The coastline of the Adriatic Sea is covered with marshy soils. The brown lands of the subtropics that cover the coastal areas of the Apennine Peninsula and Sicily are exploited for agricultural purposes. Under the deciduous forest areas In the Apennine region of the island part of Sardinia, fertile humus-carbonate soils were formed. Near the seas are the best red flowers Mediterranean soils intended for cultivation. Layered layers appeared on volcanic emissions soil covers where vineyards are grown. In the river floodplains, rich mineral alluvial meadow substrates are found at every step.

Minerals

Italy is poorly equipped natural resources, but according to resources mercury ores, native sulfur, pyrite Italy occupies one of the main places in Europe. The largest reserves of various building materials- granite, marble and travertine. Deposits of the famous white Carrara marble, used for cladding and sculpting, are mined in the town of Carrara. Natural gas deposits are concentrated in the Padanian Plain, the Apennines and Sicily, where large underground sulfur reserves are also located. Resources for fuel energy presented in small quantities. Coal is mined on the island of Sardinia and in the Alps, and brown and lignites are mined in Tuscany. Oil reserves are small; up to 98% are imported into the country.

Vegetable world

Italy's small area and active human intervention in the natural environment have led to the fact that natural nature remains mainly in the Alps, while artificially created landscapes predominate in the rest of the territory. In mountainous areas at a level of 800 m and below there are broadleaf forests, represented by chestnut, maple, and cork oaks. Above are beech and coniferous forests. The forest area turns into alpine meadows with lush grasses. High in the mountains, about 3000 m, only shrubs, mosses and lichens can be seen. The flora of the Padan Plain is filled with mixed cultural vegetation: spruce, cypress, walnut, pine. Island and peninsular landscapes are formed by subtropical trees: cork trees, citrus fruits, pomegranate, almonds, figs.

Animal world

The fauna of Italy, due to human encroachment into the environment, is not very diverse. Wild animals are found in the Alpine mountains and the Apennines: stoats, ferrets, brown bears, foxes. The wildlife islands are home to large mammals. The class of herbivores is represented by hares, squirrels, roe deer, and mountain goats, which are listed in the Red Book. The Italian region is rich in feathered representatives of the fauna; there are about 400 species. There are many reptiles on the territory of the country: snakes and lizards, different types toads, in the south even scorpions. In the rivers there are sturgeon, eels, and brown trout. Great importance For fishing they have tuna, mackerel, sardine, and flounder. IN southern waters There are white sharks.

Natural monuments of Italy

According to natural criteria, 5 sites in Italy are classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One of the first monuments included in the list is National Park in the Valcamonica Alps with pictroglyphs on the rocks.
In 1987, Venice was added to the list along with the Venetian Lagoon in the Adriatic Sea.
D 2003 listed World Heritage Mount San Giorgio was included due to the discovery of Triassic fossils in shale layers.
Since 2013, the active stratovolcano Etna, and since 2014, the natural landscapes of the vineyards in the Lombardy region are under UNESCO protection.
Part of the Dolomites, located in the Venice region, is included in the UNESCO list of exceptional beauty natural phenomenon and a monument to the main stages of the formation of the Earth.

Environmental protection

To protect the environment, national nature reserves- Gran Paradiso and Stelvio in the Alps, Abruzzo in the Apennines, Circeo on the Tyrrhenian coast, which make up 10% of the entire territory. Nature protection zones are considered to be high alpine landscapes, glaciers, exceptionally rare objects, from a geological point of view, naturally grown forests that protect animals from the threat of extinction.
The primary problem is water pollution. The greatest damage is caused by industrial waste, which is thrown into domestic and sea ​​water. Wastewater dumped into lagoons put rare birds at risk of extinction.
The soil located on steep slopes is being destroyed due to large-scale construction, creating the threat of floods and landslides.
IN greatest danger The habitat is located in industrial cities. Environmental policy aims to increase funding and support for urban greening programs and biodiversity conservation.

You have never seen such nature in Italy before

21/03 2017

Good afternoon friends!
Let me tell you today how wonderful the nature of Italy can be. Of course, I recommend everyone to see it with their own eyes. So far, a virtual tour of the most beautiful, unusual places countries.

From this article you will learn:

Such a different and unique Italy

Italy... There is the Colosseum, ancient cities, ancient ruins, . Of course, pizza, the most delicious spaghetti, and don’t forget about wine and gelatto! We’ll talk about these Italian wonders separately, but today let’s talk about nature.
The wild is no less attractive than all the man-made wonders of this country. Here we will meet mountains, sea, plains and caves. Some will say that the entire Mediterranean looks about the same. I will try to prove that this is not so.

Italy is a country of seas. Profitable since ancient times geographical position made the country rich and influential. It is washed by the Adriatic, Mediterranean, Ionian, Tyrrhenian, and Ligurian seas.

Each of the seas creates areas of a unique microclimate: temperature changes, soil, plants and animals, and its own landscape.
Let's not forget about the mountains: the Alps and the Apennines. Taming rivers and planting fields is still a real task. But the sea and mountains require that a person adapt to their mood.

Mountains of Italy

Mountain ranges are the border of Italy, separating it from other European countries. There are really a lot of mountains; they make up two thirds of the entire territory of the country. The rest of the area is hilly. In the South-West the Alps and Apennines are connected.
This is a paradise for skiers and climbers. The Dolomites are some of the most suitable for winter sports. When riding, carry a camera with you - the views are marvelous.

Volcanoes are of great interest. Many of them are still active. Stromboli, Etna and even the infamous Vesuvius. Others have long gone out. This territory has a turbulent seismological situation. Frequent earthquakes, tremors. Volcanoes are always a threat, even if they have been “dormant” for years.

Rivers and lakes

Here are the Po and Adige rivers in the north of the country. The Tiber and Arno flow through the entire Apennine Peninsula.

The largest and beautiful lakes- Garda, Como, Bracchiano. By the way, many of them are of volcanic origin. These are the real wonders of nature. The water in them is healing and has unique properties. Famous volcanic lakes filled the basins of cooled volcanoes. Spa resorts have been built around healing lakes.

Caves

Very beautiful caves attract tourists and researchers. There are craters, volcanic faults, grottoes and failures. Italy boasts underground caves over 800 meters deep.
The famous Blue Grotto is located on the island of Capri. Entrance from the sea. If there is a storm at sea, you cannot enter. The rest of the time it is best to approach by boat. The grotto has been known since ancient times; ancient sculptures have been found in it.

The water inside seems magically blue. These are the characteristics of the rock, this is how light falls and reflects from the walls. This place has been chosen by tourists since 1830. Then the German writer August Kopisch visited him along with his friend Ernst Fries. Kopish dedicated a whole book to the grotto, since then it has become the main emblem of the island.

Flat terrain

The most extensive is the Padan Plain. I advise you to take a ride on it. There are farm lands, orchards, and famous vineyards here. This is the birthplace of many Italian wines. You will see these wonderful fields while driving.

Lots of sun, close to the Po River - ideal conditions For Agriculture. The soil here is rich in all necessary minerals. And the views...see for yourself!

Top 12 most beautiful places in Italy

I made a small list picturesque corners Italy. Of course there are many more! I hope my article will help you decide to go on a trip as soon as possible. It is beautiful here all year round, and the area completely changes its appearance depending on the season.

1. Cinque Terre

A national park and a source of pride for all Italians. There are beautiful rocky shores and secluded beaches. True, not sandy, but stone. Taken under the care of UNESCO.

2. Chianti Valley

Located in one of the most beautiful regions - Tuscany. The nature here is truly charming, there is a lot of greenery in the background blue sky. Of course, we know the Chianti Valley for its wines and olive oil.

But it’s better to visit Tuscany once than to read about it. In summer there is a riot of colors, in autumn there is the charm of golden leaves. Winter in Tuscany is mild, without sudden temperature changes. In spring, everything blooms, young grapes delight with delicate greenery.

3. Vesuvius

At the foot famous volcano there is a national park. Besides the volcano itself, there is a lot of interesting things here. This is a natural monument that can wake up at any moment - change the landscape, the landscape again.

The Vesuvius Valley is lined with orchards. Great harvest, by the way. Those who wish can try to conquer the volcano by climbing it.

4. Aosta Valley

In winter, ski and snowboard enthusiasts gather here. The valley is located at the foot of the mountains. In summer, this is a place where Italians themselves come to relax. It's very beautiful here, calm, a lot of open space under the most romantic Italian sky.

5. Lake Garda

The largest lake in Italy. There are ancient castles and historical monuments around. By itself, the lake can enchant you with its landscape for a long time. Italians try to preserve natural objects as best as possible. You will notice with what respect they treat nature here.

6. Lake Como

The lake is protected from the North by the Alps. This view is worthy of many photographs. blue water, and behind it are the white peaks of the mountains. The air is very clean, and the place is considered an elite place to live.

7. Lake Braies

Formed from melted glacial water. It descends from the Dolomites and has a unique emerald color. The surroundings of the lake are coniferous forests. Everything is just like in the picture, and no Photoshop is needed - your own color palette is deep and soft. This is a place for leisurely walks, but you definitely need to breathe full breasts. You can climb to a hill - from there you can see the lake at a glance.

8. Faraglioni Rocks

Located on the island of Capri. This is a huge limestone reef. Over thousands of years, the landscape has changed, and the reef has turned into rocks. One of them has a hole through which you can sail on a boat. You can also go diving near Faraglioni.

9. Tuscan Archipelago National Park

If you ask where the most beautiful nature, then I will answer you - in Tuscany. This is a unique corner of Mediterranean flora and fauna. The archipelago consists of 8 large islands, and several more small ones.

10. Rocks of Tre Cime di Lavaredo

The Tre Cime di Lavaredo rocks are the most famous place Dolomites. There are three natural “cubes” 500 meters high. If you are interested in photography, welcome. The rock landscapes are simply enchanting.

The nature and environment described below concern the mountains, valleys, seas, climate, hydrography, lakes, vegetation and fauna of the peninsula with an area of ​​301,338 sq. km. With the aim of encouraging tourists to explore different niches of tourism in Italy related to nature and the environment.

Mountain ranges

Italy is divided into three parts: the Alps, the Apennines, and the Sardinian-Corsican Massif. Italy itself is divided into: continental (north of the imaginary line between the Magra and Rubicon rivers); peninsular (south of this line); insular (islands and archipelagos). The Alpine-Apennine mountain system extends from the northern arc of Italy to Sicily; The Sardinian-Corsican Massif affects the island of Sardinia on the Italian side. The plateaus of Gargano and Le Murge (in Apulia) along with the plateau of Iblea (in Sicily) morphologically belong to the tip of the African coast.

The mountain backbone is the undivided kingdom and apotheosis of summer and winter tourism, which over time has become a model for the development of the industry. Among the centers in the Alps one can highlight: Soz-d'Oul, Sestriere, Ayas - Champaul, Breuil Cervinia, Alagna - Valsesia, Aprica, Bormio, Livigno, Moena, Alta - Badia, Corvara, Val Zoldana, Ortler area, Cortinud "Ampezzo , Selvudi-Cadore, Civetta, Tarvisio; along the Apennines - Abetone, Apuan Alps, Roccaraso, Terminillo, Gran Sasso, Matese, Pollino, Aspromonte, Silu, Etna, Gennargenta. The highest point in Europe, Mont Blanc (4,810 m), characterizes the sunlit slope of the Italian Alps facing the sea. On the Italian slope of the Alpine mountain system There are almost a thousand glaciers of various sizes. The largest of them - the Gran Paradiso and Mont Blanc groups - are concentrated in the Valle d'Aosta region. The glaciers of Mount Monte Rosa, the Ortles, Adamello and Marmolada massifs are also impressive. At a distance of over 1000 km to the south, they are “counterbalanced” by the volcano Etna (3.323 m) in Sicily. Between the two peaks stretch the Apennines and the sea.

Just as it is impossible to imagine Italy without seas, lakes and rivers, so it is impossible to imagine it without snowy mountains(www.enit.it), hills, forests, islands. It is equivalent to imagining a universe without stars. However, the Italian mountains, along with any other geographical and social component of the peninsula, represent a universe, but in this case a botanical and geological universe, preserving the last remnants of the real Mediterranean vegetation. These mountains are a mixture of granite and slate, limestone and dolomite, marble and lava rocks.

There are many sites on the World Wide Web dedicated to mountains, including Italian ones: www.gae.it (Association of Terrain Guides and Tour Guides), www.planetmountain.com, www.altaquota.it, and for extreme sports - www. pareti.it.

Mountain landscapes in Italy are both steep and gentle. Tourists have at their disposal well-equipped ski slopes and hiking routes, sports equipment, and equipped last word equipment, fitness clubs, climbing and hang gliding areas. In addition, in agritourism structures (www.agriturismo.com.) you will be offered local wines and gastronomy, you will be able to get acquainted with culture, folklore, traditions, and history. You will be accommodated near the centers mountain holiday close to cities rich in attractions and events: Aosta, Turin, Genoa, Milan, Bergamo, Venice, Florence, L'Aquila, Rome, Naples, Catania.

Holidays in the Alps and Apennines are a complete holiday in all seasons, especially in winter (www.cai.svt.it) and summer (www.corpoforestale.it). Summer, in the Italian mountains, no longer means only mountaineer boots, traditional mountain breeches, rock climbing, mountain biking, trekking (hiking along mountain trails with a guide), canoeing, rafting (descent down mountain rivers on rafts and kayaks), excursions, long walks (www.boscaglia.it.), evening feasts with polenta (porridge made from corn flour), grappa (grape vodka) and dancing (www.localionline.it).

Mountains, like beaches and pine groves, have today become a kind of gymnasium where you can get in shape while enjoying clean air and good food. Where to get rid of stress, reset excess weight to regain fresh and clear skin? Yes, everywhere: from Cortina d'Ampezzo for those who like to combine relaxation, giving it a slightly secular character, to the Abruzzo National Park and Gran Sasso for those who love the Apennine landscape. The mountains have also become a kind of ramp for concerts classical music on high altitude(Valle d'Aosta, Trentino).

The protection and breeding of rare species of animals is carried out in National reserves del Gran Paradiso, d'Abruzzi, dello Stelvio, del Circeo and natural areas protected by the law on protection environment(www.pegaso.bio.uniromal.it/gsap/).

The fauna of seas, lakes, and fast mountain rivers(www.lineablu.it).

In the BUYERS catalogs that offer Russian tourists holidays in Italy, there are no proposals for recreation and sports activities related to bird watching and long excursions on horseback in inaccessible areas (www.cavalloonline.it). As for the pets that tourists want to take with them on vacation - cats, dogs - you can use websites that list beaches, campsites and hotels that accept them (www.petz.it, www.viaggiarecolcane.it).

The Moscow representative office of ENIT is ready to assist Russian BUYERS in finding an Italian partner for “specific interests” related to recreation such as “nature” and “green tourism”.

Most of Italy is located on the Apennine Peninsula, the image of which is geographical maps recognizable by many people and in its shape resembles a woman's boot.

The country also occupies a small part of the Balkan Peninsula, the Padana Plain, the islands of Sicily and Sardinia, as well as numerous small islands of the Aegadian, Lipari, Pontine, Tuscan archipelago and the southern slopes of the Alps.

In the east, its shores are washed by the Adriatic Sea, in the south by the Ionian and Mediterranean, in the west by the Tyrrhenian, Ligurian and Mediterranean seas.

To the north are the Italian Alps with highest point country - Mont Blanc mountain (4807 m). Between the Alps and the Apennines lies the vast Padana Plain, which includes the Po Valley. The plains occupy only about a third of the country's territory. In addition to the Lombardy Plain, this is the coast of the Adriatic Sea, as well as three narrow flat strips along the western coast: Campania di Roma, Pontine Marshes and Maremma.

On the island of Sicily, which is separated from the mainland by the narrow Strait of Messina, there is active volcano Etna (3323 m).

Italy has a large number of rivers, the most important of which are the Po and Adige, located in the north of the country and flowing into the Adriatic Sea. The Tiber and Arno flow on the peninsula itself.

The country also has a large number of lakes. The largest are Garda, Lago Maggiore, Como and Lugano in the north and Trasimeno, Bolsena and Bracchiano in the south.

The climate of Italy is temperate in the north and subtropical Mediterranean in the center and southern regions. The diversity of Italy's climate is determined by the extent of its territory from north to south and the mountainous terrain of most of the country. The Padan Plain has a transitional climate - from subtropical to temperate, characterized by hot summers and cool, foggy winters. Temperatures in July range from +22°С to +24°С, in January - about 0°С. In the central regions of the Apennine Peninsula the climate is subtropical, with hot summers from +24°C to 36°C and warm winter, not lower than +5°С.

The air temperature strongly depends on the altitude of the place above sea level - even in the suburbs of Rome or Turin, gently running up the foothills, it is always 2-3 degrees colder than in the city center. And in the foothills of the Alps, this picture is even brighter - at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, citrus fruits bear fruit almost all year round. In the mountains, snow lasts up to 6 months, on the peaks it lies constantly, and heavy snowfalls are frequent from October to May.

In the south of the peninsula, dry hot winds from the Sahara - “sirocco” - blow from March to October. During this period, the temperature rises to +35°C, and at the same time the dryness and dustiness of the air sharply increases. Cold northern or northeastern “tramontana” winds blowing from across the Apennines are also common (mostly in winter).

Sardinia has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot summers and short warm winters, very favorable for visiting the island at any time.

The climate in Sicily is also Mediterranean, very similar to Sardinian, but even more hot in summer and slightly cooler in winter. There is little precipitation and mainly from October to March. Since the territory of Italy is washed by seas on all sides, the air here is quite humid.

The flora and fauna of this country is diverse and represented big amount species. Active activity human development has led to the fact that in many regions of the country exclusively cultural landscapes predominate. The only exceptions are high mountain areas where natural flora has been preserved. Characteristic feature Italy has a clearly defined zonation. More than half of all plant species existing in Europe grow here, and 10% are endemic species.

The formation of the country's flora and fauna was also influenced by factors such as the predominance mountainous area, moderate and subtropical climate, long coastline.

Flora of Italy

In Italy there are three regions with different types vegetation: Po Valley, Alps and Mediterranean-Apennine region.

The Alpine Zone can also be divided into three zones. In the lowest zone there are broad-leaved forests, represented by cork oaks, European olive, cypress, cherry laurel, chestnut, ash and maple. Next are already beech forests, which smoothly turn into conifers. Here you can see larches and common spruce V large quantities. Even higher up, the trees end and are replaced by shrubs (juniper, hard alder and rhododendrons), grass meadows, wild flowers (Primrose and Carnation families), sedge with grassy willow. Even higher, lichens and mosses grow on the snow-capped peaks.

In the area of ​​the Padan Plain there used to be oak forests and shrubs, but now here you can only find cultivated plants(wheat, corn, rice, sugar beets and potatoes). In places where there is enough moisture, poplar grows, and in drier areas - sedge. Heather grows on the plains and pine forests, and along the shore there are water lilies and pondweed.

On the Apennine Peninsula, Sardinia and Sicily, in low mountain areas, evergreen holm and cork oaks, pine trees, olives, oleanders, carob trees, Aleppo pines and mastic trees are found. Above grow oaks, beeches and chestnuts, spruces, fir and pines, white ash, eastern sycamore and white poplar.

In the south of Italy you can find Italian alder, and in Sicily you can find Sicilian fir and papyrus. The natural forest of the Apennines has now been replaced by maquis bush. Various steppe plants grow on the plains.

Fauna of Italy

Deforestation and land cultivation have led to animal world Italy is not very diverse. Wild animals can be found here mainly in the mountains. So, marmots live in the Alps, wild cats, stone and pine martens, stoats and ferrets. Concerning large mammals, then here you can see the Alpine mountain goat(protected by law), chamois, roe deer, lynx, fox and wolf. In Abruzzo you can find brown bear, and in Sardinia - fallow deer, mouflon and wild boar. Italy is also home to squirrels, hares and great horseshoe bats.

In the country you can see 400 species of feathered fauna, including mountain partridge, vulture, swift, black grouse, golden eagle and wood grouse. Wild geese and ducks live along the shores of the lakes. Among reptiles one can distinguish vipers, some species of lizards and turtles, and among amphibians - the alpine salamander and the alpine newt. IN fresh waters Sturgeon, eels and brown trout inhabit the area, and the seas are inhabited by red mullet, sea crucian carp, white sharks and sword sharks. Tuna, mackerel, sardines and flounder are caught here in industrial scale. Invertebrate species such as sponges and red corals are also found.

Many species of wild animals and birds have been completely exterminated or disappeared due to environmental pollution and human intervention in the ecosystem. Wild animals can only be found in nature reserves in Italy, of which there are quite a lot. Also currently created here National parks and nature reserves. total area of all national parks in the country is 200 thousand hectares. Many rare species are listed in the Red Book. The government is trying to do everything possible to ensure that the environment does not cause damage to the flora and fauna of the country.
