Differences and similarities between the nature in Sweden and Italy

In Sweden we have a lot of trees and forests where you can pluck blueberries, while this is prohibited in Italy. Italy, just like Sweden, has mountains in the northern parts, while Italy also has mountains in the center. There are lots of plain fields in the southern parts of Sweden.

We have the same the types of animal on the farms, for example chickens, cows, horses and goats. Eating fish from the lakes is prohibited in Italy. This is complete legal in Sweden.

Sweden has a lot of agriculture, especially in the southern part of the country such as Skåne. Here we grow potatoes, carrots, wheat, oats, corn, apples, plums and pears. Italy also grows potatoes and corn. But unlike Sweden, Italy grows oranges, olives and grapes.

The climate varies considerably from the north to the south of Italy. In the north of the country - the area between the Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines - the climate is harsh, with very cold winters and very hot, particularly humid summers. In central Italy the climate is milder, with a smaller difference in temperature between summer and winter and a shorter and less intense cold season than in the north; summers are longer, but the sultriness of the northern cities is mitigated by the sea. In southern Italy and the islands winters are never particularly harsh, and spring and autumn temperatures are similar to those reached in the summer in other areas of Italy.

Sweden enjoys a generally temperate climate, thanks to the Gulf Stream. Winter can be crisp and invigorating. In the south, winter is generally very cold with an average of temperature below 0C degrees, but temperatures can vary markedly in different parts of the country. Sweden's northerly position has a definite summer advantage in that temperatures are rarely extreme and humidity levels are not high. You can divide the country into three regions; central and southern Sweden, the northeast, and the northwest, or far north to describe the weather in Sweden

Italians usually go camping in the summer, when it´s not so cold and they usually go to Garda Lake, which is really fun and nice. Swedes also go camping in the summer. But when swedes goes camping, they’re usually in the woods having a barbeque.
