Italy is the only peninsula in the world that travels narrowly from north to south at a perfect latitude enclosed within a good sea. The only geographical situation on the planet.
Here it happens that the good winds of the seas meet the good winds of the hills and mountains. A unique geographical situation.
This gives rise to true wonders by allowing the growth and production of 7000 edible plant species. Any Italian region has more plant species than any state in Europe.
We have 58,000 different animal species. Of which 42,000 are land-based, 10500 saltwater, 5500 freshwater.
In Italy, we have 1200 indigenous grape varieties. 533 olive cultivars. 140 durum wheat cultivars.
This wonder is the world's unique 'Biodiversity'.
