Bears are definitely part of European culture, although unfortunately is no more present as in the past. The Romans knew very well bears. There's a bear specific of the Italian fauna: the Marsican brown bear, aka the Apennine brown bear (orso bruno marsicano in Italian), is a critically endangered population of the Eurasian brown bear, with a range restricted to the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise, and the surrounding region in Italy. The Marsican brown bear differs slightly from other brown bears in its appearance and hibernation techniques. The bear's popular name is derived from Marsica, a historic area of the modern-day region of Abruzzo where the bear has long had a significant presence. There are also populations totalling around 100 bears in the Abruzzo, South Tyrol and Trentino regions of Italy. Bears from the aforementioned Italian regions occasionally cross over to bordering Switzerland, which has not hosted a native population since its last bear was shot and killed in Graubünden in 1904. 5:10 today's diamond mines, millions of years ago were located in the deepest states of the planet, a volcano is not deep enoughf 8:58 to know why the Romans did that, come back here: 8:08 BTW, there are many more famous natural sites in Italy, this list is good but very short.
