A bold tribute to the Wolf of the Apennines and Spirit of the Italian Wilderness where the Italian wolf, or Apennine wolf, a subspecies of the grey wolf indigenous to the Italian Peninsula and the only large predator to have survived in the Italian Apennines throughout the 20th century without being driven to complete extinction, represents one of conservation's most remarkable success stories, recovering from a low of approximately 100 individuals in the 1970s following centuries of persecution, poisoning, and habitat loss to a current population estimated at over 3,000 animals spreading naturally from the Apennines into the Alps, southern France, Switzerland, and Spain, where the wolf's recovery has been driven by legal protection introduced in 1971 making Italy one of the first European countries to protect the wolf, the natural regeneration of the Apennine forests, and the return of wild ungulate prey, and where the wolf's ancient place in Italian culture, mythology, and the civic identity of Rome through the Capitoline Wolf legend connects this living animal to the deepest roots of Italian civilization and gives its survival an almost mythological resonance for a country rediscovering its relationship with the natural world.
