How might the mountain ranges of italy have affected people's lives in acient times?

The altitude of the Alps would have made it difficult for people to interact with cultures in northern Europe. The Apennines would have made it difficult for people on Italy’s east coast to interact with those on the west coast. It is likely that the mountainous geography isolated individual communities in ancient Italy, allowing little contact with other Romans or other cultures. Thous would change as Roman technological advances were made.
