1. The greatest share of territory that is now “Italy” was unified under Ancient Rome — especially during the Roman Empire (roughly 27 BCE–476 CE). The empire reached its territorial peak in the early 2nd century CE (around Emperor Trajan, c. 117 CE), when Rome controlled the whole peninsula and far beyond.
2. Italy’s physical geography is unusual because it is a long, narrow, boot‑shaped peninsula dominated by mountain ranges (the north‑ringing Alps and the spine‑like Apennines), with narrow coastal plains, many islands (notably Sicily and Sardinia), active volcanoes (Etna, Vesuvius), and strong north–south climatic and topographic contrasts.
