Places to see in ( Bolzano - Italy )
Bolzano is a city in the South Tyrol province of north Italy, set in a valley amid hilly vineyards. It's a gateway to the Dolomites mountain range in the Italian Alps. In the medieval city center, the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology features the Neolithic mummy called Ötzi the Iceman. Nearby is the imposing 13th-century Mareccio Castle, and the Duomo di Bolzano cathedral with its Romanesque and Gothic architecture.
Bolzano, the provincial capital of South Tyrol (known within the province as Südtirol, or in Italy as Alto Adige), is anything but provincial. Once a stop on the coach route between Italy and the flourishing Austro-Hungarian Empire, this small city is worldly and engaged, a long-time conduit between cultures. Its quality of life – one of the highest in Italy – is reflected in its openness, youthful energy and an all-pervading greenness. A stage-set-pretty backdrop of grassy, rotund hills sets off rows of pastel-painted townhouses, while bicycles ply riverside paths and wooden market stalls are laid out with Alpine cheese, speck (cured ham) and dark, seeded loaves. German may be the first language of 95% of the region, but Bolzano is an anomaly. Today its Italian-speaking majority – a legacy of Mussolini's brutal Italianisation program of the 1920s and the more recent siren call of education and employment opportunities – looks both north and south for inspiration.
Bolzano is the capital city of South Tyrol, the German speaking region in the northern part of Italy. Bolzano is the largest city in the region. Its archaeology museum is famous worldwide as the home of the alpine iceman Ötzi. It is also known as the Italian Capital of Christmas thanks to its characteristic Christmas market.
The city is administratively composed of 5 districts with a district mayor and council. These are:
City Centre - Bozner Boden/Piani di Bolzano-Rentsch/Rencio
Oberau/Oltrisarco-Haslach/Aslago
Europa-Neustift/Novacella
Don Bosco
Gries-St.Quirein/San Quirino
Bolzano has been a trading point since its foundation owing to its location between the two major cities of Venice and Augsburg. In 1262 it was elevated to a Stadt (city). In 1363 Bolzano became part of the Habsburg monarchy as part of the county of Tyrol. Four times a year a market was held and traders came from the south and the north. The mercantile magistrate was therefore founded in 1635. Every market season two Italian and two German officers (appointed from the traders who operated there) held this office. The city was a cultural crossroads at that time.
Bolzano has many special features: it's an Italian city with Austrian flair. In the city centre you will mostly hear people speak German or Austro-Bavarian. Nowadays, however, Italian- and German-speaking people are living together in bilingual Bolzano. Generally Bozner or Bolzanini are friendly and helpful. Most German-speaking people can speak Italian but Italian-speaking people are unlikely to be able to speak German. Nevertheless many young people can also speak English and a few can speak French too. In South Tyrolean schools the learning of the second language (Italian for German-speakers and vice-versa) and of English is compulsory.

Bozen ( Italian Bolzano , Ladin Bulsan or Balsan ) is the capital of South Tyrol , an autonomous province in Italy , and as such seat of the state government and the state parliament . Since 1948, the city has been a supraregional trade fair location , since 1964 bishop of the newly created Diocese of Bolzano-Bressanone , since 1997 also a university town with the Free University of Bolzano .
Bozen is considered one of the major urban centers in the Alpine region and, due to its biculturality, is considered an important meeting place between the German and the Italian-speaking cultural and economic areas.
The city of Bolzano is centrally located in the south of South Tyrol and covers an area of 52.3 km ², of which only 28 km ² are used as a permanent settlement area. Dense urban development accounts for the largest share of this settlement area. Bolzano is located in a basin , which is surrounded on three sides by high mountain ranges, at the meeting of Etsch Valley , Eisack Valley and Sarntal and the rivers Etsch , Eisack and Talfer . At this point, the Alpine crossings of the upper Adige Valley and the Eisacktalfurche, which through historical trade routes to the Reschenpass and to the Brenner pass forkslead the city into the center of a national road network. Until 1911, the city of Bolzano was limited to a relatively small area east of the Talfer, which is why the city is still known by the local population as Talferstadt .
Bolzano is divided into five districts, which in turn comprise several historic districts and formerly independent municipalities. The historic town of Bolzano stretched until 1910 on an area between Talfer and Eisack or between Zollstange and Wangergasse, with about 45% of the total population lived in the cramped old town area. This area has been absorbed into the district center-Bozner Boden-Rentsch , which occupies within the present city limits rather a peripheral situation in the northeast. Part of this district is the formerly independent rural community Zwölfmalgreien , which was incorporated in 1911. The same happened to the former rural community Gries, which was incorporated in 1925 Bolzano and today in the district Gries-Quireinin the north lies. Both Zwölfmalgreien and Gries have remained in the present but their own cadastral communities .
Geographically in the center of today's urban area of Bolzano lies Europa-Neustift , the smallest of the Bolzano neighborhoods. To the east of it extends the Don Bosco district , which was created together with Europa-Neustift in the soft spot of Gries. On the other side of the Eisack to the south, the district of Oberau-Haslach spreads , which formerly belonged to the municipality Zwölfmalgreien and includes the districts Haslach, Oberau and St. Jakob-Unterau with the so-called Grutzen.
