Why the difference between Italian coastlines and mountain ranges?

Earth Science Asked by ed94133 on July 17, 2021

Italy’s relatively straight, parallel coastlines in the main part of the “boot” seem surprising given how the Apennines snake through it, from one side to the other and back. Don’t coastlines usually parallel mountain ranges more closely? Is there a good account of the geological forces shaping Italy’s coastlines?
