WINTER IN THE APENNINES
Stretching across the Mediterranean Sea, Italy is usually considered a warm place an ideal holiday destination. And yet, the winter in its very heart, the Central Apennines mountain range, rivals those in more continental places. With temperatures that occasionally may drop down to -39 C and snowfalls that can pile up a few meters, it is not an easy place to live in. Every year, mountain animals must face the challenges of the bad season to survive.
