Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol

Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol is a highly autonomous region in northern Italy, composed of two provinces: Trentino and South Tyrol. It borders Austria and Switzerland, with a diverse culture influenced by Italian, German, and Ladin traditions. The region is known for its stunning Alpine landscapes, winter sports, and rich history. Trentino features Italian-speaking communities, while South Tyrol has a significant German-speaking population, resulting in a bilingual environment. Governance grants it special autonomy to protect its cultural identity and manage local affairs, making it a unique blend of Italian and Central European influences in both culture and governance.
