Due to its central location in the Mediterranean Sea, [M]Italy received, during Antiquity, various influences from[/M] external Mediterranean civilizations, such as the Phoenicians and Carthaginians on its larger islands and from [M]the ancient Greeks in the so-called Magna Graecia[/M], As well as it was the home of many different cultures of its own, such as the Nuragic civilization, the Etruscans and the Latins, the latter being the ones who gave life to the Roman civilization, and witnessed the birth of the Republic and the later Roman Empire.

Italy (Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]) is the official name of the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica Italiana [reˈpubblika itaˈljaːna]), a state in southern Europe consisting of a peninsula bordered by the Alps and surrounded by several islands. The country is located in south-central Europe and is considered part of Western Europe. A unitary parliamentary republic with its capital in Rome, covering a total area of ​​301,340 km2 and bordering on land with France in the northwest, Switzerland and Austria in the north, and Slovenia in the northeast, as well as the enclaved micro-states of the Vatican, San Marino and Sovereign Order of Malta. Italy has a territorial exclave in Switzerland (Campione) and a maritime exclave in the waters of Tunisia (Lampedusa). The country's population is about 60 million, making it the third largest member state of the European Union. Due to its geographical location in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, Italy has historically been home to many peoples and cultures. In addition to the various ancient peoples scattered throughout modern Italy, the most common were Indo-European Italians, who gave the peninsula its name since antiquity, the Phoenicians and Carthaginians established colonies mainly on the islands of modern Italy. The Greeks settled in the so-called Graecia Magna in southern Italy, while the Etruscans and Celts inhabited central and northern Italy, respectively. The Italian tribe, known as the Latins, formed the Roman Empire in the eighth century BC, which eventually became a republic with a government of the senate and the people. The Roman Republic first conquered and assimilated its neighbors on the Italian peninsula, eventually expanding and conquering parts of Europe, North Africa and Asia.

Italia (in Italian, Italia, pronounced / i'talja / (listen)), officially the Italian Republic (in Italian, Repubblica Italiana pronounced / re'pub: lika ita'ljana /), is a transcontinental sovereign country, member and founder of the European Union, constituted in a parliamentary republic made up of twenty regions, these in turn made up of 110 provinces. Italy is located in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, in southern Europe. It occupies the Italian peninsula, as well as the Padana plain, the islands of Sicily and Sardinia and around eight hundred smaller islands, among which the Tremiti islands in the Adriatic Sea, the Campano and Toscano archipelagos in the Tyrrhenian Sea, or the islands Pelagias in North Africa, among others. In the north, it is surrounded by the Alps and borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. The micro-states of San Marino and Vatican City are enclaves within the Italian territory. In turn, Campione d'Italia, is a municipality that forms a small Italian exclave in Swiss territory. Due to its central location in the Mediterranean Sea, Italy received, during Antiquity, various influences from external Mediterranean civilizations, such as the Phoenicians and Carthaginians on its larger islands and from the ancient Greeks in the so-called Magna Graecia, As well as it was the home of many different cultures of its own, such as the Nuragic civilization, the Etruscans and the Latins, the latter being the ones who gave life to the Roman civilization, and witnessed the birth of the Republic and the later Roman Empire. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Byzantines, Lombards and Muslims disputed control over the Italian territory, thus breaking their previous political unity. From the Full Middle Ages, Italy was the cradle of maritime republics such as Venice, Genoa, Pisa and Amalfi, of the Papal States and also of Humanism, the Renaissance and the Baroque movement, among other States and cultural movements. In the 19th century, through the historical process known as Risorgimento, the various Italian territories managed to unify under the same State: the Kingdom of Italy.

[M]Italy[/M] (Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]) is the official name of the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica Italiana [reˈpubblika itaˈljaːna]), a [M]state[/M] in southern Europe [M]consisting of a peninsula[/M] bordered by the Alps and surrounded by several islands.

Italia (in Italian, Italia, pronounced / i'talja / (listen)), officially the Italian Republic (in Italian, Repubblica Italiana pronounced / re'pub: lika ita'ljana /), is a transcontinental sovereign country, member and founder of the European Union, constituted in a parliamentary republic made up of twenty regions, these in turn made up of 110 provinces. Italy is located in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, in southern Europe. It occupies the Italian peninsula, as well as the Padana plain, the islands of Sicily and Sardinia and around eight hundred smaller islands, among which the Tremiti islands in the Adriatic Sea, the Campano and Toscano archipelagos in the Tyrrhenian Sea, or the islands Pelagias in North Africa, among others. In the north, it is surrounded by the Alps and borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. The micro-states of San Marino and Vatican City are enclaves within the Italian territory. In turn, Campione d'Italia, is a municipality that forms a small Italian exclave in Swiss territory. Due to its central location in the Mediterranean Sea, Italy received, during Antiquity, various influences from external Mediterranean civilizations, such as the Phoenicians and Carthaginians on its larger islands and from the ancient Greeks in the so-called Magna Graecia, As well as it was the home of many different cultures of its own, such as the Nuragic civilization, the Etruscans and the Latins, the latter being the ones who gave life to the Roman civilization, and witnessed the birth of the Republic and the later Roman Empire.

[M]They[/M] measure between 60 and 85 cm and [M]weigh 4 to 15 kg[/M].

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), also called Australian sloth, is a species of herbivorous arboreal marsupial endemic to Australia and the only surviving representative of the Phascolarctidae family. It is found in the coastal regions of South and Eastern Australia, from Adelaide to the southern part of the Cape York Peninsula. The populations also extend over considerable distances in the Australian hinterland (outback), where the humidity is sufficient for the maintenance of forests. The koalas of South Australia were exterminated at the beginning of the 20th century, but this federated state has since been repopulated thanks to transfers from Victoria. This animal was no longer present in Tasmania or Western Australia, but it has been reintroduced there. The koala is closely related to the eucalyptus or gum tree, of which it only eats the leaves of some species. Males can live an average of 15 years, and females 20 years. It is, along with the kangaroo, one of the main symbols of Australia. After having been massively hunted for its fur, it is today mainly threatened by the fragility and the decline of its biotope. Fewer than 80,000 koalas remain in the wild and that number continues to decline.

It is found in the coastal regions of South and Eastern Australia, from Adelaide to the southern part of the Cape York Peninsula. The populations also extend over considerable distances in the Australian hinterland (outback), where the humidity is sufficient for the maintenance of forests. The koalas of South Australia were exterminated at the beginning of the 20th century, but this federated state has since been repopulated thanks to transfers from Victoria. This animal was no longer present in Tasmania or Western Australia, but it has been reintroduced there. The koala is closely related to the eucalyptus or gum tree, of which it only eats the leaves of some species. Males can live an average of 15 years, and females 20 years. It is, along with the kangaroo, one of the main symbols of Australia. After having been massively hunted for its fur, it is today mainly threatened by the fragility and the decline of its biotope. Fewer than 80,000 koalas remain in the wild and that number continues to decline.
