How to spot Italy from satellite imagery
Northern Italy contains the broad Po plain below the Alps. The Apennines continue down the peninsula, leaving coastal lowlands of varying width. Sicily sits near the toe of the mainland, and Sardinia lies farther west. These large relationships are useful even when individual towns are unfamiliar.
Trace the Po east towards the Adriatic, then compare that broad plain with a valley in the Apennines.
