The length of the German-Italian border depends on how you define the border. Here are two ways to consider it:

Total land border: This includes the main border between the two countries, as well as the borders of enclaves and exclaves. This length is approximately 811 kilometers (504 miles).

Land border excluding exclaves and enclaves: This only considers the main border between the two countries, neglecting the complicated enclaves and exclaves within each country's territory. This length is approximately 756 kilometers (470 miles).

It's important to note that the presence of exclaves and enclaves creates some interesting situations where the border crosses back and forth within the same territory. Therefore, the definition of "border" can influence the total length reported.
