A mountain range that lies on the backbone of Italy. It is 1,350 km long and is also called the Apennines. It branches off from the Alps at the Cadibona Pass, west-northwest of Savona on the Gulf of Genoa, and runs down the Italian peninsula. The mountain range that reaches the Torto River in northern Sicily is also thought to be an extension of the Apennines. Mountain building began in the Eocene and Miocene, but it is a young mountain range whose current outline was formed by active activity in the Pliocene. Most of the range is 1,000 to 1,500 m above sea level, but it is the highest in the central part of the peninsula, with the highest peak, Mount Corno, at 2,914 m.

イタリアの脊梁山脈。全長1350km。アペニン山脈とも呼ぶ。ジェノバ湾岸サボナの西北西にあるカディボナ峠でアルプスから分かれ,イタリア半島を縦断している。シチリア北部のトルトTorto川に至る山脈も,アペニノ山脈の延長と考えられている。造山運動は始新世および中新世に始まるが,鮮新世の活発な活動によって,ほぼ現在の輪郭ができあがった若い山脈である。標高は大部分が1000~1500mであるが,半島中央部でもっとも高く,最高峰コルノCorno山は2914mである。
