Trentino-Alto Adige

In many ways, the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy is the least Italian of them all. Its northern frontier is high in the Alps and Dolomite mountains, bordering Switzerland and Austria.

 

This area is the Alto-Adige or the province of Bolzano and is essentially the Italian side of the Austrian Tyrol region. The hardy mountain people of this portion of the region are firmly entrenched in their German heritage and Italian is often the second language.

 

Moving south toward the province of Trentino, life is more Italian as one gets closer to the neighbouring regions of the Veneto, Lombardy and the northern shores of Lake Garda.

Trento is the administrative headquarters of the province and of the region Trentino-AltoAdige. Rovereto is the second centre of the province, a city of culture and industrial site.
