Italy

Railways

The railway network has three types: national, regional, and urban (metropolitan). Over long distances the railways have a advantage over road transportation, and the national line are therefore the most heavily used. The network of principal national lines corresponds to that of the express highways: opposite of each express highway is a railway line, equipped with a double track. 

The important line is the peninsula route Milan-Bologna-Rome-Naples, of which the most heavily stretches are Milan-Bologna and Rome-Naples; the first section of the high-speed which directs the Florence-Rome railway was opened in 1977. The Turin-Milan-Venice and Milan-Genoa line link the industrial belt of the country with Genoa and Venice for freight transportation.  

Water Transportation

Many ports are inadequate. The more crowded, larger ports, such as Genoa, Savona, and Venice, and Livorno, have imposed primage at the times of entry and sometimes at departure, which dramtically increases production costs. In the north of Italy there are only a few large ports that include: Venice, Genoa, and Savona. Ports that are of local importance include fishing ports like Chioggia, and tourist ports such as the numerous ones of the Ligurian riviera.  

Conclusion

I really liked studying about Italy because Igot to learn a lot more about European countries, their companies and much more. I learned many things such as the currency of Italy is euros, the longest river is the Po, the largest plain is the Po Valley and a countless number of other interesting things that I have never known  before.I learned about the education in Italy and how its lumber and resources are scant while their livestock number many. I learned about Italy’s great history of wine making and the transportation and climate in Italy. I really enjoyed studying Italy!
