{{further|Northern Italy}}
Continental Italy defined as the southern side of the [[Alps]], the [[Po Valley]], [[Liguria]] and the portion of the [[Apennines]] bounded by the conventional line that connects [[La Spezia]] to [[Rimini]].<ref>{{cite book|first=Antonio|last=Londrillo|title=Alla scoperta della mia regione|publisher=Bulgarini|year=2004|isbn=88-234-2327-9|language=it|page=18}}</ref> The region of [[Nice]] (corresponding to the historic [[County of Nice]]), [[Italian Switzerland]], part of [[Julian March]] and other less extensive portions of territory such as [[Valle Stretta]], [[Gondo (island)|Gondo]] and [[Val Monastero]], are not part of the Italian Republic in its continental part but they are part of the Italian geographical region. Conversely, the [[Val di Lei]], the [[Val di Livigno]], the [[San Candido]] basin, the [[Rio Sesto]] valley and the [[Tarvisio basin]], although part of the Italian Republic, are not included in the Italian geographical region.
