Well, being on a peninsula gave them trade routes and the mountains (Alps) gave them a natural defense barrier early on in Rome's history when they were constantly being attacked. Also not having rivers everywhere in the Roman Empire caused them to build Aqueducts to transport water.
The Alps, which separate Italy from the rest of the continent.
Hannibal had to move his army over the Pyrenees Mountains, and then over the Alps before striking at the Romans. He lost about three-quarters of his army in the process. It would be a challenge even for a modern army today.
There isn't any. Rome is built on and aroud hills, which in no way could be considered mountains. The mountains in Italy are the Apennines and the Alps, neither of which are in Rome or even near to Rome.
