The Italian territory is densely anthropized and shows diverse characteristics : volcanic, endo-lagoonal, calcareous... The hilly areas are prevalent with respect to the mountainous ones and the plains, the average altitude of the territory is about 337 metres a.s.l..

A member of the G8, according to the World Bank, in 2010 Italy represented the eighth economic power in the world for absolute nominal GDP, in front of India and behind Brazil ,which becomes the tenth if one considers the purchasing power parity.

The Italian economy occupies an important role also in international trade, occupying the eighth place in export and import of goods. Like all advanced economies, also the Italian economy is oriented towards the service sector, which in 2011 represented a little under 75% of the added value (against 50% in 1970).

ACRA's efforts in Italy are guided by a triple objective: inform and sensitize people, involve the young generations, develop and build capacities to generate change by laying bridges between the North and South, through channels of decentralized cooperation.
