Italy

Italy, officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica italiana, or simply Italia), is a unitary parliamentary republic in South Central Europe. To the north, it borders France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia along the Alps. To the south, it consists of the entirety of the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Sardinia, the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, and many other smaller islands. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within Italy, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers some 301,338 square kilometers (116,347 square miles) and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.8 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe, and the 23rd most populous in the world. Italy has also the world's largest number of World Heritage Sites, which is 60.
It is nicknamed "The Boot" by its inhabitants because of the peninsula's shape.
