Figure 1 – Italy Map and Satellite Images
Italy is a large European country with a land border stretching 1,116 miles in length. The four countries that border Italy include Switzerland, France, Slovenia, and Austria (Kiprop et al., 2021). Out of the four countries, Switzerland holds the longest border while Slovenia has the shortest land border. Recently, the border between France and Italy has been modified (“espaces-transfrontaliers.org: Border factsheets,” 2021). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has restricted crossing the Italian borders, and the permit to entry is issued upon clearance. Embarking on any trip to Italy requires the travelers to confirm if their regions of destination have no further measures and restrictions baring their movement (“Italy – Observatory on Border Crossings Status due to COVID-19 – UNECE Wiki”, 2021).
