The Italian peninsula is a peninsula. It is not a country but a georgraphical feature. Therefore there is no 'official' name. The same applies to the continent of 'South America' and 'North America'. This isn't official merely geographic and in many languages both of these regions are considered to be 1 continent and not 2.
