The Apennine mountains form the backbone of this peninsula, leading north-west to where they join the Alps, the mountain range that then forms an arc enclosing Italy from the north

The Appennine Mountains (Italian: Appennini) is a mountain range stretching 1000 km from the north to the south of Italy along its east coast, traversing the entire peninsula, and forming the backbone of the country. The name may be derived from the Latin root "penne", meaning a quill or feather, also the source of the word "pinnacle". Thus, is it may be linked etymologically to the English Pennines. The total length is some 1,000 km and the maximum width 80/140 km.

The Appenines, and they're no joke, running right down the middle of the boot. You don't go for an afternoon hike across them; and the trains and roads tunnel through 'em; you can go through twenty tunnels in an afternoon.
