Trentino Region - Italy
Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol[3] (Italian: Trentino-Alto Adige, pronounced [trenˈtiːno ˈalto ˈaːdidʒe]; German: Trentino-Südtirol;[4] Ladin: 'Trentin-Südtirol';[5] Austro-Bavarian: Trentino-Sidtiroul), is an autonomous region in Northern Italy. It consists of two provinces: Trento and Bolzano-Bozen. The region was part of Austria-Hungary and its predecessors, the Austrian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire from the 8th century until its annexation by Italy in 1919. Together with the Austrian state of Tyrol it is represented by the Euroregion Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino.
In English, the region is also known as Trentino-South Tyrol[6] or by its Italian name Trentino-Alto Adige.[7]
Geography

The region is bordered by Tyrol (Austria) to the north, by Graubünden (Switzerland) to the north-west and by the Italian regions of Lombardy and Veneto to the west and south, respectively. It covers 13,607 km² (5,253 sq mi). It is extremely mountainous, covering a large part of the Dolomites and the southern Alps.
The Autonomous Province of Bolzano has an area of 7,400 km2, all of it mountainous land and covered by vast forests. In Italy, the province borders on Lombardy in the west, Trento in the south and Veneto in the east. The climate is of the continental type, owing to the influence of the many mountain ranges which stand at well over 3,000 metres above sea-level and the wide valleys through which flow the main river, the Adige, from north to south and its numerous tributaries. In the city of Bolzano, capital of the province, the average air temperature stands at 12.2 °C (54 °F) and the average rainfall at 717.7 mm. The lowest pass across the Alps, the Brenner Pass, is located at the far north of the region on the border with Austria.[8]
The Autonomous Province of Trento has an area of 6,207 km2, most of it mountainous land (20% is over 2,000 m (6,561.68 ft) and 70% over 1,000 m) and covered by vast forests (50% of the territory). The climate is various through the province, from an alpine climate to subcontinental one, with warm and variable summers and cold and quite snowy winters. The region has always been a favourite destination for tourists, both in winter for skiing in the high mountains and in summer to visit the wide valleys and many lakes (the largest being Lake Garda) can be found.[9]
[edit] History
Trento, the belfry
The region of current Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol was conquered by the Romans in 15 BC. After the end of the Western Roman Empire, it was divided between the invading German tribes in the Lombard Duchy of Tridentum (today's Province of Trento), the Alamannic Vinschgau and the Bavarians taking the remaining part. After the creation of the Kingdom of Italy under Charlemagne, the Marquisate of Verona included the areas south of Bolzano, while the Duchy of Bavaria received the remaining part.[10]
From the 11th century onwards, part of the region was governed by the prince-bishops of Trento and Brixen, to whom the Holy Roman Emperors had given extensive temporal powers over their bishoprics. The rest was part of the County of Tyrol and County of Görz, which controlled the Pustertal: in 1363 its last titular, Margarete, Countess of Tyrol ceded it to the House of Habsburg. The regions north of Salorno were largely Germanized in the early Middle Ages, and important German poets like Oswald von Wolkenstein were born and lived in the southern part of Tyrol.

South Tyrolean Apples - Südtiroler Apfel - Mela Alto Adige // 360° Video
South Tyrol’s more than 7,000 apple growers usually farm small orchards of two to three hectares, often divided among several smaller, widely spread parcels. Every apple variety in South Tyrol can grow at the altitude it feels best at. The cultivation area reaches from Salorno in the south through the Adige Valley and the low mountain range of the Burgraviato up into the Venosta Valley. Also in the east near Bressanone/ Brixen, the South Tyrolean apple feels right at home. The alternating effects of the alpine-Mediterranean climate make South Tyrol a true paradise for many different, tasty varieties. The most important characteristic of South Tyrolean apples is evident at first bite: every variety tastes excellent.
Since 2005, 13 South Tyrolean apple varieties have been protected all over Europe as a regional specialty – with the European seal of quality Protected Geographical Indication (PGI).
360 view from Corno Grande (2.912m) - Gran Sasso massif
360° View taken August 2013 from the peak of Corno Grande which is the highest mountain in Italy between Alps and Sicily.
Located ~120km away from Rome in direction East it's quite interesting as:
- up there is the southmost glacier in Europe
- in there is the largest underground laboratory in the world for experiments in particle physics, particle astrophysics and nuclear astrophysics (LNGS)
- across there is the longest 2x2 way Highway tunnel in Europe (10km)

Il castello abbandonato di Toppo | Friuli Venezia Giulia
Ritorniamo finalmente a mostrarvi quante cose ha da offrire la nostra regione: il Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Vi porteremo ad esplorare il castello abbandonato di Toppo, una cittadina in provincia di Pordenone, che fa parte del club dei Borghi più belli d’Italia. In questo video ci concentreremo sul suo castello, che è stato abbandonato in epoca medievale. Per questo motivo la struttura originaria non ha subito modifiche anche se è giunta a noi decisamente in rovina.
Vi piacerebbe vedere altre località del Friuli?
