GARGANO (south Italy)
Gargano is a mountainous promontory jutting into the Adriatic Sea from the east coast of Italy, in Foggia province, Puglia (Apulia) region. The peninsula is composed entirely of limestone, surrounded by terraces of various geologic periods, and rises to 3,494 feet (1,065 m) at Mount Calvo. The north coast has splendid citrus and olive groves and vineyards along the shore; the southern slopes, facing the Foggia plain, are known for their heavy red wines. The oak forests, famous in ancient times, have largely been cut, and only naked bedrock remains over much of the interior of the Gargano; the Umbra Forest (mainly beech) is the most famous of the few surviving forest preserves.
