List of Italian regions by highest point facts for kids

Italy is a country in Europe, shaped like a boot! It has 20 special areas called regions. Each region has its own highest point, which is usually a tall mountain. This article tells you about the tallest mountains in each of Italy's regions.

There are 20 regions in Italy. But sometimes, one very tall mountain can be the highest point for two different regions at the same time! This happens with a mountain called Serra Dolcedorme. It is the highest point for both the Basilicata and Calabria regions. So, even though there are 20 regions, we only list 19 different highest points.
