Talk:Italian Peninsula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
User from 24.189.3.230, please understand that you sometimes just can't stuff everything into nice little regional boxes and give them nice little nonsensical titles. It just doesn't make sense to state that islands are part of a peninsula. --Shallot 23:33, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
Shouln't this be titled like the other "X Peninsula", see Category:Peninsulas --Tobias Conradi (Talk) 16:56, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Maps?
What happened to having maps in the encyclopedia? Certainly enough other graphics on these pages.

[edit] Missing something
Are not the canton of Ticino (Switzerland) and the are of Nice (France) part of the Italian peninsula (geographically talking!) ??
[edit] What is the northern boundary of the ‘peninsula’?
At the moment we say that the peninsula is bounded to the north by the Alps. No doubt that boundary is what Metternich had in mind when notoriously defining Italy as a geographical expression. But according to the Wikipedia definition of a peninsula, and looking at the satellite picture, I would be tempted to place the boundary of the Italian Peninsula (as opposed to mainland Italy) a good deal further south. The Alps and the greater part of the Pianura padana (defined as the drainage basin of the Po, which indeed includes Ticino) would be excluded. Any thoughts? (I ought to add that I was hopeless at geography at school.) Ian Spackman 20:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
