The Alps and the Apennines are the major mountain ranges in Italy. The Alps run in a west-to-east arc from the Cadibona Pass to north of Trieste, at the head of the Adriatic Sea. The Apennines run down the Italian peninsula from the Cadibona Pass to the tip of Calabria and continue on the island of Sicily.
