The name of the mountains separating Italy from the rest of Europe is ancient Rome.

The answer is the Alps. This mountain system is the longest and at the same time the highest of all systems located entirely within Europe. The highest alpine peak is positioned just on the border of Italy. This is the border with France, and the peak itself is called Mont Blanc. Italy is separated from the rest of Europe by the Alps on the north side. The length of the chain is about 1200 km. In the era of Ancient Rome, the passage of the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal Barca was carried out through the mountain range.
