Italy, a European country with a long Mediterranean coastline, has left a powerful mark on Western culture and cuisine.
Italy, slightly larger than Arizona, is a long peninsula shaped like a boot, surrounded on the west by the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the east by the Adriatic. It is bounded by France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia to the north. The Apennine Mountains form the peninsula's backbone; the Alps form its northern boundary. The largest of its many northern lakes is Garda (143 sq mi; 370 sq km); the Po, its principal river, flows from the Alps on Italy's western border and crosses the Lombard plain to the Adriatic Sea. Several islands form part of Italy; the largest are Sicily (9,926 sq mi; 25,708 sq km) and Sardinia (9,301 sq mi; 24,090 sq km).

Its capital, Rome, is home to the Vatican as well as landmark art and ancient ruins.
The current President of Italy is Sergio Mattarella.
And the total Population in Italy is more than 6 Crores.
The capital of Italy is Rome.

The history of Italy covers the Ancient Period, the Middle Ages, and the modern era. In antiquity, Italy was the homeland of the Romans and the metropole of the Roman Empire.
When Italy was first discovered?
The formation of the modern Italian state began in 1861 with the unification of most of the peninsula under the House of Savoy (Piedmont-Sardinia) into the Kingdom of Italy.

Who is known as the father of Italy?
Victor Emmanuel II of House Savoy was dubbed Padre Della Patria (Father of the Fatherland) because he united Italy in the Kingdom of Italy.

Who brought Italy together?
Proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy, 1861.

The aftermath of the Franco-Austrian War brought about a series of plebiscites in the northern Italian states. By going to the ballot box, the states voted to join Piedmont-Sardinia, with the ultimate goal of unifying the entire peninsula.
